Organizational Change Management

Organizational change management (OCM) is the disciplined approach to managing the human side of organizational transitions — ensuring that employees understand, accept, and adopt new processes, systems, and behaviors.

Why it matters

PLM technology alone cannot change organizational behavior; OCM is the discipline that makes the technology investment yield returns.
