When you find yourself responsible for managing a change project at work, you might wonder what you’ve gotten yourself into. It quickly becomes clear that the task is not as simple as letting people know what they should do and then standing back to let it happen, especially when you don’t have authority among those who need to change.

“When it comes to change management, “implementation” isn’t the end—it’s just the beginning.” What is change management?

As change becomes ubiquitous in the workplace, more organizations are developing internal change management capability to help keep the pace. Rather than leaving change implementation up to individual departments and projects, some organizations are opting for a more structured process and a standardized set of tools to help ensure success.

When the Association of Change Management Professionals (ACMP®) first introduced the idea of a change management standard, I was intrigued. While many of my suggestions were adopted into the current version, The Standard for Change Management© still has some major flaws: It’s too generic to be truly helpful, and yet can’t be specific because 1) they’ve (thankfully) chosen to be methodology agnostic and 2) there is no one-size-fits-all approach to change.

A recent study by the Association for Change Management Professionals (ACMP) shows that 73% of change management professionals surveyed also have other, non-change-related job duties. I suspect for many of the respondents, the “other” job duties are really their primary job, and those who consider themselves change agents do so because they’ve realized change management is a necessary function of their primary job.

Contrary to what some might think, the task of implementing change does not lie solely with the change manager, or anyone else for that matter. Defining accountability for the many moving parts of change is a necessary – and continual – step in the change process. So then, whose job is change?

In order for any change to occur – whether it’s a decision to purchase a product, or an implementation to add new technology – whatever touches the ultimate solution must buy-in to the change. We forget that without buy-in from the necessary people and policies that maintain the status quo, we face the high cost of the resistance emanating from pushing change into a system that believes that it’s fine, thanks.

People who implement change at work use common phrases to describe the frustration they feel at times: Herding cats. After years of working with change agents, I’ve observed that when they describe their situation this way, it’s because their change is stuck.

This common organizational behavior ultimately corrupts decision making as senior managers make decisions based on inaccurate information derived from prospects who were not fully candid and salespeople who are not in an objective position to gather and share unbiased information. The information does not change as it moves around the organization and therefore, better strategic decisions can be made.
