From the course: Change Management: Roadmap to Planning

The importance of planning

- Change management moves people to a new way of doing things. Working, thinking and behaving differently. This new behavior requires planning, management and embedding new habits. Change can sometimes feel like pushing a big rock up a hill. It's definitely possible, but hard work. With the right emphasis on planning and pre-work, you are set for an easier ride. It's said that planning is the mother of almost every other ability. The ability to plan organizational change lies at the heart of your success. If you build a robust plan for change and sew the seeds of change in people's minds, the right outcomes will follow. The benefits you'll enjoy include more engagement, outcome buy-in, increased return on investment and a culture of growth and innovation.
