Managing the Human Side of Change in Projects (Bahia Sarlie & Karin Deacon – Human Beings who work, laugh and play at PM.Ideas)

”It is impossible to change organisations which do not accept the danger of their present way of doing things...organisations only change when the people in them change, and people will only change when they accept in their hearts that change must occur.” (Sir John Harvey Jones , British Executive, submariner.)

People change management is a structured approach to transitioning individuals, teams and organisations from a current state to a desired future state. Change Management is a term broadly used and we also know from experience that proper change management is the key to success in all projects. The current definition of Change Management includes both organisational change management processes and individual change management models, which together are used to manage the people side of change. The people side of change however does not always run smoothly. Most individuals do not like change and would resist change at all costs.
