What your change management project needs to be successful
1. Meaning:
Human beings need to understand why change is necessary!
2. Coherence:
Constantly check the coherence between the messages sent to employees and the actions and processes they experience every day. Any inconsistency hinders change.
3. Psychological security:
Create the most conducive environment for commitment and initiative.
4. Efficiency:
Since it is difficult to predict people, it is pointless to plan projects in every detail; instead, it is necessary to find a good balance between time, investments and risks.

What are the key skills to be a change manager?
A good change manager thinks holistically and has good analytical skills, but also a strong emotional intelligence that allows them to balance the change process against more subjective dimensions: corporate culture, interpersonal dynamics, external events that affect people's state of mind. In most cases, failure is related to the human factors, not to flaws in the strategy or process.
