Organizational change management is a business discipline that focuses on both the technical and the people side of change. Pink’s Organizational Change Management certification course emphasizes the leadership skills necessary for leading people through change because it’s often the difficulty that employees have to embrace and sustain change that leads to the failure of most change initiatives.

A recent Harvard Business Review article, What Makes Leadership Development Programs Succeed? states that “Every year, global organizations spend more than $60 billion on leadership development programs.”

In his recent article, 5 Tips to Communicate Organizational Change, Bernard Coleman writes, “Change is an opportunity, and the outlook is the mindset.”

In their Harvard Business Review article, How to Get Your Team on Board with a Major Change, Deborah Rowland, Nicole Brauckmann, and Michael Thorley report that ”Most change management has shifted from a simplistic, top-down, ‘create a vision, change the structure, roll out the new program, and get buy-in’ approach to more emergent, empowered, and purpose-led approaches. But leading big, complex change is still a struggle — the rate of failure for transformation projects remains stubbornly high.”

In his recent TechTarget article, 4 Types of Information Technology Cultures Explained, writer Jerald Murphy says “The type of information technology culture your organization has determines the role of IT and the investments for which it will be more or less difficult to make a business case… IT leaders who understand their company's culture are better able to make the best use of their IT resources.”

For more than 2,500 years, there has been one unavoidable truth about change – ever since Greek philosopher Heraclitus stated this (circa 500 BC): “Change is the only constant.”

In her recent CIO article, 10 hard truths of change management, writer Stephanie Overby builds on the above adage when it comes to IT: “Rather than tackle organizational change management with an end in mind, IT leaders and their organizations must now exist in an environment of persistent flux.”

It’s a grim statistic. According to the Kotter Institute and others, only 30% of major change initiatives are successful and deliver the desired value.
