A very good place to start with the change management process is with a quick review of the following questions:

Site IntroductionBut first a few quick words about this site. Specialist change management knowledge to a wider audience As in any field of expertise, there are a relatively small number of experts with the knowledge and experience of change management and they tend to be employed by major corporates and the specialist consultancies that serve them.
