Change Management For a Business Consultant

Change Management simply talks about how well a person can adapt to changes and practice the change in her/his  life time.There are three stages of Change Management.

  1. Un-freezing 
  2. Changing
  3. Re-Freezing

Adopting to the change is  not as easy as splitting the term change management.It is sort of leaving the comfort zone and stepping in to the danger zone.One should be extremely courageous to leave the comfort zone and ready to adapt to a change.

Below graph explains why some person would search for a change and her/his progression.


The thought for Change begins with frustration.After realizing the denial one would get angry and surely will resist to work hard for it. Continuation of the feeling of frustration would lead one to the tipping point where the decision is taken to LET IT GO.After that one starts looking for a new hope, new path or new destination.The one might start search for a change.

Things to remember in the journey of  searching are :

Resourcefulness: -Being effective at making the most at the situation.Must not forget to utilize what ever resources available.Try to see all the ways to achieve what to want rather getting stuck with one solution.

Optimism: -Recognizing the opportunities and possibilities.Be enthusiastic and positive about the change.See the brighter side of the change.

Adventurousness: -Change is sort of taking an unknown risk.Still walk in the path with courage and confidence.Work hard for the success of your goal.

Drive: -Combine your physical energy and mental desires.Hold the passion "NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE."

Adaptability: -Being flexible and resilient at the same time.Your will power to adapt to the changes is very much important.

Confidence: -Believe in your ability.Enjoy the process of change.

Ambiguity Tolerance: - This is the ability to handle the elements of indefiniteness.Coping with uncertainty and facing the changes.

Changes can happen in many ways.A minor/major change can happen collaboratively or a minor/major change can happen coercive.Either way if there is a necessity for a change the responsibility is to make that change and adapt for it.

In the perspective of a Business Consultant I would rather say she/he is a person who would face many changes out of all as we as business consultants will needs to deal with different sets of people and with regards different domains.One person to one person or one domain to the other is not same at all.So a business consultant needs to have the ability to change as soon as possible if the situation requires it.Further business consultant definitely must raft to the changes rather rowing as i mentioned earlier as well out career is all about dealing with people and consulting them about changes to their business or the business process.If we are not fast enough flexible enough or focused enough will it be a successful consultation.

So my dear business consultants keep changing- get updated about every possible domain, be flexible and change as per required, enjoy what you do by seeing the positive side of the adventure.
