Your organization is undertaking a change initiative in support of the implementation of a new HCM. A change consultant will lead the team using best practices, a structured approach to measuring change, and methodologies to support the team and organization through this significant change. Other important events where you might want to consider change management include restructuring due to a merger or acquisition, major process reengineering or significant cultural shifts within the company or a specific division.
