What is Organizational Change Management (OCM)?
• OCM is a structured approach for transitioning an
organization from its current state to a desired
future state.
• OCM typically begins with defining a change
management strategy that will bring the organization
through the changes with minimal disruption to
the business.
• OCM is often referred to as “the people side of change”.
• OCM does not stop until the change becomes rooted
in the culture of the organization.
