I’ve always liked quotes, and one of my favorites is “Change before you have to,” by Jack Welch. It reminds me that change is inevitable; it will happen no matter if you like it or not. In other words, you can watch change happen or make change happen. The choice is yours. John Newbern [...]
Change is inevitable. Nothing stays the same. But how do you react when change is forced upon you? The coronavirus pandemic is a perfect example of how change was forced upon the world. No one across the globe escaped the nuances of living in a “new normal” in order to protect ourselves from contracting [...]
Each of us is unique and reacts to change differently. There’s no telling how someone will react to a situation. For example, a few years ago, I made plans with a friend to eat at an Italian restaurant we like only to discover a sign announcing it had closed permanently. I hadn’t read anything [...]

Business process mapping sessions are most successful when the team involved [...]
At the outset of any Organizational Change Management (OCM) implementation, it’s important for our consultants to know the background of the change to properly communicate to employees. We ask questions such as: What are the project’s objectives? What is the staff’s opinions overall of the upcoming new processes? Did all levels of staff have [...]
Without an Organizational Change Management (OCM) framework, a company could have an issue of minimal buy-in from various stakeholders. Or worse yet, no buy-in at all. Then the change that was meant to improve an organization ends up not being utilized or utilized poorly, having wasted the time, resources, and efforts of all involved. [...]
Organizational Change Management (OCM) is the framework for managing the effect of new business processes, changes in organizational structure, or cultural changes within an enterprise. Frequently, the most significant challenges of OCM lie, not in managing the technical or operational aspects of change, but in managing the impact on people. netlogx provides an OCM [...]
