Organizational change happens, whether people are ready for it or not. No matter how unnecessary, people fear the impact the change will have on them. Change can become painful as people focus on their potential losses - what will they have to give up? Without careful planning, organization members' resistance can run high, sabotaging your change efforts before they get off the ground.

Bringing about organizational change takes thoughtful planning and preparation, following an established organizational change model. Organization members must be motivated and ready for change. Their initial resistance has to be overcome as well. Getting members to embrace change requires involving them in decision-making processes and helping them focus on potential gains rather than losses. And change must be introduced at a pace that organization members can handle.
