What does Organization Change Management Mean?

Organization change management is a structured way to implement change within a company or business. We offer more than traditional change management. ON THE MARK’s (OTM) accelerated change readiness solution goes beyond traditional change management by ensuring your organization is prepared for change and can shift quickly as new change arises. Whether you’re implementing a new operating model, a different strategy, new processes, migrating platforms, or re-focusing your business, OTM’s approach makes it happen more efficiently and effectively.

Why is Organization Change Management Important?

Utilizing OTM’s Organizational change management solution, ACR©, means people understand the change before it happens. By utilizing transparency and collaboration, your organization helps set the stage for the change to come. Engaging employees in this way creates a more seamless process when the actual change needs to occur. If your company is organizing around a new growth strategy, shifting or expanding market differentiation, growing organically or through acquisition, or creating a new part of the business, this solution is for you.

OTM’s accelerated change readiness solution enables your team to complete projects and initiatives more quickly by taking time to answer questions upfront. Traditional change management can be met with resistance, which may delay completion.

Why Is Change Management Dead?

The most productive thing you can do is to stop thinking you can change people. Change management is a remedial activity. It is intended to remedy the fact that the people impacted by the change had no voice throughout the process. Change management requires a push of the change onto people, before they are psychologically ‘ready’ to accept it. This traditional, top-down way of thinking is outdated, ineffective, inefficient, and unsustainable. Change management is dead.
