CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Mj Hudak, Change Management, Chicago, Change, management, communicationsChange may be something old morphing into something new, such as a reorganization. Or, it may be something entirely new, such as a new technology implementation. A change management program recognizes needs and barriers to change and follows a process to gain commitment.

Simply put, change management is taking care of the people side of an organizational change and prepares them for the impact the change has on them. MJ Hudak Consultants is experienced in change management for technology implementations, such as infrastructure separation, ERP, desktop migrations and enterprise mobility, with a specialty in change communications.

Many proven methodologies in change management provide a structured approach, but there is no cookie cutter miracle. While a structured approach is important, it must be flexible to adapt to each organization’s culture and each project’s uniqueness.
