Manage change

The purpose of this competency is to achieve the goals of change management, i.e. to:

  • define the organisational change required to convert outputs into benefits;
  • ensure the organisation is prepared to implement change;
  • implement the change and embed it into organisational practice.

Performance criteria

  1. plan and initiate change

  3. assess the organisation’s readiness to change
  4. communicate and implement change
  5. ensure that new practices are embedded in business as usual
  6. maintain change management documentation
  7. assure the quality of change management

The amount of organisational change required by a project, programme or portfolio varies considerably, as do the consequences of managing change badly.

It is important therefore, to ensure that this competency matches the importance of change management in the context of the work and also the role to which it is applied.
