I’ve written in the past about change management, and if you’ve read my old post you know that I’m a huge fan of change management. However, I’ve noticed that while everyone loves change management in theory, most of us hate it in practice.

I suspect that the software we are using for the Performance management makes it such a pain to manage the changes that people are willing to take huge risks in order to avoid using it. We are currently using a home-brew system for our change management, but we will soon start using a commercial system that should be customized for our use. I’m trying to collect requirements on what the change management software should do. My main goal is to have a system that will not be a pain and will not hinder the Organizational design anything better than that is a bonus.
