Organizations rarely view change in a positive light, as a consequence we are often defensive and territorial. However, if change is viewed as a positive, it can be seen that it is an opportunity. Accept change and flow with it - change is difficult when resisted. Embrace change and harness its energy to your benefit. Become more receptive to creative ideas for providing service.

A recent article in the Australian Financial Review on the 2nd November entitled “Boards must become better people managers” cited that boards can expect a power shift over the next five years as concerns over human-capital risks spark an expansion of the role of the nominations committee. The role of nomination committees shall extend beyond the realms of corporate governance – although their role in evaluation of the board of directors and examination of skills needed in board candidates shall still be valid, their role shall extend to be more forward thinking and future orientated. The nominations committee shall still have to evaluate the company’s position and its board of directors now, but also decide how to better their position its position and board in the future.

In today's fast-moving world the concepts of management and "change management" are synonymous terms. Adapting to an ever-changing environment in which we attempt to achieve our mission is the predominant concern of all successful organizations.

In order to manage change effectively managers must be able to manage the six core processes that allow an organization to manage change. This article seeks to introduce the six core processes that allow us to manage change and then to discuss each one in greater detail.

Understanding the values that will make each of these processes successful and fulfilling is as important as understanding the processes themselves. The three primary value systems that we observe in management are authoritarian, relationship, and laissez-faire. These form a continuum of values. Where managers will anchor themselves on this continuum of values will determine their success. The articles will demonstrate the effect of each value system on the outcome of each process.
