Please forgive me for stating the bleedin' obvious … a Change Management framework is a structured approach or roadmap designed to guide individuals, teams, and organisations through transitions successfully, minimising resistance, maximising buy-in, and ensuring long-term adoption of new systems, processes, or behaviours. It involves identifying the need for change, planning the transition, communicating with stakeholders, providing training and support, and reinforcing the new state to achieve desired future outcomes. There are in excess of 50 of the better-known ones and probably a whole lot more that are not so well known like my Practical Framework Approach to Change, although that is getting regular downloads from Flevy.com … to-date nearly 20,000.
Interestingly, I recently delivered my Journey 2 (About Models and Methodologies) to a current trainee and her take, at the end of the session was "you can't just manage change in an ad-hoc way, you have to have something to start you off, you know, hang your hat on and a basis for knowing what you need to do and when you need to do it but then as you gain more experience, the framework just becomes a reference point rather that a driver because the Change Manager and the way in which they interpret these frameworks is more important than the framework itself". Well said, I am in complete agreement.
