Effective change management: from within or outside?
An article published by BIE Interim, voted no. 2 in the Institute of Interim Management Interim Provider Top 100 this week, explains why more firms should look to the option of interim management as part of their change management strategy.
"A study by XpertHR of employers experiencing a period of change showed that the majority raised the lack of in-house change management expertise as an issue. Personnel Today produced a helpful list of the key skills required by line managers for effective change management, which is reprinted below, should you wish to go down that road.
However, we believe that all of these skills would be already covered, their associated costs to implement avoided, and the period of change far less painful internally with one smart move – the hiring of an interim change management expert."
