3.5 Prosci's Change Management Methodology

Prosci's Change Management Methodology offers a structured approach to guiding organizations through transitions. It breaks down the process into three main phases: preparing for change, managing implementation, and reinforcing sustainability. Each phase has specific strategies to ensure smooth transitions.

The methodology also addresses change at both organizational and individual levels. It incorporates the ADKAR model for individual change and provides tools like sponsor roadmaps, communication plans, training strategies, and resistance management techniques to support the overall change process.
