Change Management Perception
Feza Ozalp, Professor, Turkey, Member
Change management is often perceived as a business need. I don't agree with that. Isn't change everywhere in our lives.
In my lectures, I start giving examples of change and need to change from our daily lives. The participants accomodate themselves much easier and understand the methodology much better. I would strongly recommend to refrain from hard core business when asking an organization to change.

Size of Change (small Versus Large)
David Wilson, Manager, Canada, Premium Member
Hi Feza, sometimes change based on SWOT / PEST(LE) or other analysis is imposed on an organization from outside influences, not just internal business needs. To manage this type of change, small scale projects and "quick wins" (Kotter, 1996; ) are important for groups/individuals. However, the larger the organization, the greater the need in my opinion for a corporate change champion, and an overall vision of why the change is happening. People also need to be motivated.

Simplifying Change
Koki Ochieng, Consultant, Kenya, Member
I am interested in how Feza can simplify change concept to be relevant in a training situation... How to teach change without using business concepts... Change is about communication & consensus building.

Change is a Reality Needed for Survival
Dr. Luis De La Cruz, Professor, United States, Member
Change (management) is not a business need, it is a matter of survival. Change is ubiquitous and gives no opportunity for denial or excuses. Individual or organizational sustainability depends on forecasting and adaptation.
Be prepared to seize it when an opportunity arrives is an old advice, change is not a perception. Change is a reality embraced by those who identify patterns that announce its embryonic stage and are prepared the best they can to ride it.

When Change is Needed
Lorna Elcock, Analyst, Barbados, Member
WHEN does change become necessary? One needs to identify that. And have some idea of where you are going.

Why Change Management is Essential
ernest agbenohevi, Consultant, Ghana, Member
Change management is the essence of life, whatever region or sub sector that is been considered.
The natural process of change cannot meet the needs of man with regard to the rising population and related issues. Someway somehow we have to embark on disruptive change processes as a way of meeting the needs of man, and the disruptive change will have to be managed for greater benefits as well as mitigating the larger negative effects of the disruptive change...

Change Management Simplified
ernest agbenohevi, Consultant, Ghana, Member
Our needs, physiological, financial, material, etc. change with each passing day. We need to engage in a lot of things to ensure we secure the necessary resources to survive for the future. Even if we have reserves of such resources they get exhausted by the day through consumption and natural decay or depreciation. Our working towards change is to do all it takes to replenish or gain back the used or consumed resources hence change management.
Thus change management is doing the things that give us the opportunity of reaping or earning the resources for decent living for the periods ahead.
This is our very lifestyles and change management.
