Introduction

Change Management is one of the most important disciplines of today’s business environment. As the forces of commerce continuously evolve around us, businesses must keep ahead of the curve or suffer. Over the last fifty years, change has become the slippery slope that business must negotiate or they crash on the rocks below.

There is a wealth of material available on Change Management, though most of it concentrates on the technical aspects, i.e. models, mapping and toolboxes. (Please see links for access to some of this material.) This blog will concentrate on three key elements that comprise a large portion of the human aspect of business and the business of change. These are Communications, Relationship Building and both Formal and Informal Leadership.

A combination of research, personal observations and discussion will be utilize to explore how to improve the use of Communications, Relationship Building and both types of Leadership within the Change Management structures.
