What is Change management?
Change management: Helping people adopt new ways of working.
Where Change management fits
Change management is part of Mission & Competition in Management. A mission says why you exist; competition shapes how you win. Barriers to entry protect a market, first movers gain an edge, and vertical integration owns more of the chain.
Practical tip
Write a clear mission and be different, not just cheaper.
