Curious About Managing Organizational Change?

Welcome to the Change Management hub at Inevitabl.

You're familiar with the saying that change is the only constant. You've experienced it personally and professionally. You've seen what happens when it doesn't go according to plan, if there ever had been a strategy in the first place. That brings up a good question. Two, in fact.

Can You Plan for Change? Can You Manage Change?

Like physical muscles that must be exercised, the change management process is one that when not practiced frequently or consistently can deliver unfavorable results. The use it or lose it philosophy applies.

"But, I've gotten good results before without having a plan."

While that may be the case for some, and it's awesome when things do work out that way, it can be difficult to duplicate results that happened by chance. Random processes yield random results. When there are personal or professional stakes on the line, you'll want the confidence of a proven system. With that in mind, this page holds several articles that will highlight key elements of change management, clarify best practices, and help you to better address change for yourself or your organization.
