Change Managers

Project Change Managers can mean two different types of roles within an organisation. The first Project Change Manager is a manager who is specifically working on a change project or business transformation programme. The Project Change Manager will be specifically required for their previous experience in managing projects where there is a lot of organisational change. The complexities that exist in change projects and programmes - mainly the changes that employees within the business will experience as they progress through the organisational change - means that a professional with prior experiences and lessons learnt are a preferred candidate.

There is also a concept of Management of Change Manager or Consultant; these roles are concentrated on the specific aspects of change management, for example communications, cultural changes, readying the organisation for the change. Whereas the Project Change Manager will be managing the whole change project, the Management of Change specialists will only be brought into the project at specific times of the lifecycle.
