Change: a Challenge and a Necessity
In the past, the field of organizational change and change management turned out problematic and change managers and senior management struggled.
Yet today it is evident that changing organizations is more necessary and important than ever. Due to well known factors such as fierce and worldwide competition, rapidly changing customer needs, and the new horizons offered by information technology, both the speed and the magnitude of the necessary organizational changes have increased.
As a result, the field of organizational change has a very interesting and bright future, in which new ways to bridge and reconciliate these contradictions must be found.

Constant and persistent communication on the need for change is vital; and developing a-ready-to-change environment is today's biggest challenge for business managers.

	6 Managers Must Communicate and Coordinate the Need for Change Its interesting to see different aspect of change and change management but what I've observed to be resoundly absent is the human impact/effect of change and change management. The people that change will impact must be carried along from the onset - whether they may or may not support the change! Management must adopt an EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION STRATEGY. Most failed change programmes can be traced to poor management of communicating the change programme. An effective CO-ORDINATION of the change programme is also a must to a successful change programme - It is leaders role and someone must take responsibility for the change programme.
