Why OCM is Critical to Data Strategy

Organizational Change Management (OCM) involves understanding how change affects individuals within the organization, identifying what those changes are and developing ways to support affected employees through their transitions.

It is a subtle art requiring the ability to understand human behavior, predict likely reactions and devise appropriate solutions at both an individual level and at an organizational level. The top priority of any OCM program should be to address resistance to change in order to encourage adoption by employees as well as avoid or minimize negative impacts on productivity.

A great OCM strategy is about making changes happen effectively and successfully for everyone involved. It's about people, process, and technology. New adoption of technology has always been a challenge for any organization, but changing how your employees and stakeholders think about or use data can be an even greater challenge.

OCM has emerged as one of the key elements in a data strategy because it focuses on how both individuals and the organization as a whole will be impacted by rapid change.
