change management strategy

A change management strategy is a plan for how to make something different. 

In business, a change management strategy describes specific ways in which an organization will address such things as changes in the supply chain, inventory requirements, scheduling or project scope. The goal of establishing a formal strategy is to ensure that any negative effects of change will be minimized. To effectively institute a change management strategy, stakeholders must create a plan for how to recognize when a change is need, how to approve changes, how to implement changes and how to monitor changes to ensure they have brought about the desired effect.
