Change and development are an integral feature of modern businesses. Making changes (often fundamental ones) in how business is conducted is necessary to cope with the even-changing competitive environment.
Change management is the process of guiding organisation through this period of transition, whether the change is localised to a particular part of the organisation or changes the organisation as a whole. Many change management projects have limited success. Therefore, it is important that all members, and especially the change leader, have the appropriate knowledge and skills to help ensure a successful transition and adapt to the inevitable challenges their change project will encounter.
Change management roles are increasingly in demand in Ireland and overseas. From LinkedIn data, there are currently 656 job openings for change management roles. Recent data from Indeed shows 3535 job openings for change management roles. Glassdoor has 3852 job openings for the change management role.
