Change Management Framework

Change Management can be defined as a structured approach to transitioning individuals, teams, and organisations from a current state to a desired future state. It is an organisational process aimed at helping staff to understand, commit, accept and embrace changes in their current business operating environment

Why is change management important?

• Minimise resistance
• Increase engagement
• Improve performance
• Reduce costs

To help minimise impacts and effects caused by change, from having unintended negative outcomes for the project, it is necessary to have Change Management methodology in place with right resources delivering and executing on those methodologies, principles, and processes. Change should not be viewed and managed with a one size fits all approach. It should be customised to fit your individual project circumstances.

The Change Management Framework assists change managers and other staff who are designing and leading the change effort within the department. The change Management Framework provides supporting tools and templates to enable projects to address the change management aspects within the Project management framework.

It aims to ensure a consistent, streamlined approach to managing change within the Operations Committee endorsed projects that are following the department’s Project management framework. Both frameworks provide established governance structures, consistent clear templates, guidelines, and checklists to ensure a greater degree of certainty for project success.

The change management Framework is available and adaptable for PMC Staff to use on any project.
