Strategic Librarian

Can I get away with that title?  Probably not, but Nina Platt can, and does. Let it be known I read some pretty diverse content.

I loved the fact that Nina is commenting on Change Management – it’s one of the keys to building a learning culture.  I particularly liked the fact she took a moment to remind us that the term means different things to different people.

 

To an IT person, change management is an ITIL service discipline (one of eleven).  See Wikipedia for more on ITIL, a library of best practices beginning to be used by some law firms.

To a project manager, change management is the process for handling changes to a project.

To anyone else, change management (according to Wikipedia)  “is a structured approach to change in individuals, teams, organizations and societies that enables the transition from a current state to a desired future state.”   See the definition of the people side of change management  for more on the topic.
