The Change Management system has been designed from the ground up in order to streamline the activities and workflow associated with any change. The system has been the foundation stone for many companies seeking to adopt formal methodologies and standards accreditation such as ISO 9000.
The ability to manage change particularly in a world where organisational re-engineering is becoming the norm will be an essential part of a company’s DNA.
Those companies that require consistency and quality in service and procedures, or simply wish to implement a more professional approach to change will gain immediate benefits by using Change Management:
demonstrate compliance with standards and quality procedures
prevent duplication of work effort
provide a framework for further change (modelling successful changes)
allow good budget control
allow for "fall back" strategy should the change become unsuitable
provide a method of evaluation
help and inform the people most affected by the change
lend support and credibility to new change initiatives
identify and alert on the impact of unplanned changes (e.g.equipment failure)
enable management to check at any time that change disciplines are being carried out.
