Change management is a process that aims to effectively introduce change in an organization to achieve desired goals and adapt to a changing environment. It requires understanding the reasons why change is necessary, identifying areas that require modification and clearly defining the goals and benefits that the change is to bring. Change management is a dynamic process that requires flexibility, openness to feedback and readiness to adapt the strategy depending on people's reactions and changing conditions. It is also crucial to understand that change will not always be easy, so it is important to create a plan that takes into account both organizational goals and the needs of individuals in the change process.
