The field of organizational change management (OCM) has made great strides in demonstrating the value of engaging OCM resources as soon as an organization commits to a significant change. Despite this progress, the organizational change management team (OCM), which includes learning and development resources, often walks into an already baked project schedule. The outcome is a planning process and system implementation timeline that did not adequately account for the education effort required to get people on board.

This is a tale of two regions within one organization: both with the common goal of developing enterprise organizational change management (OCM) capability, but each with their own approach, and vastly different end results!

Our client, a Fortune 500 utility company, implemented Autodesk Inventor to introduce new design system capabilities and build the foundation for future process automation. ChangeStaffing was engaged to provide organizational change management (OCM) support. We recently sat down with one of our consultants, Ricky Mathis, to discuss the criticality of process work to the success of this seemingly simple software upgrade.

The transition of millions around the globe from office settings to working from home, has left many wondering if the old way of working is dead and gone.

I recently sat down with one of our consultants, Tori Tipton, an experienced OCM and HR consultant, to discuss potential challenges of providing OCM support from afar.
