Change Management (OD) vs. Change Management (Operational)

There are two types of Change Management programs; they are systematic organizational-wide change initiatives and specific internal Change Management/Change Control programs. Each use similar tools but have different goals and priorities. The systematic change initiative involves an organizational-wide transformation effort, while the Change Management/Change Control initiative involves providing tools and processes to control daily operational or project specific changes. Both types of Change Management are important to the organization success. Especially if developing an internal Change Management/Change Control program is included within the organizational transformation program.

For this blog the concentrate will be on the Change Management as it relates to systematic organizational transformation, though information on developing internal change controls will be made available in the links.
