Change Management
What is Change Management?
Quite simply it is the effective management of change or transformation within an organization.
Why is it important?
Success in today’s corporate world is often dependent on flexibility. Organizations need to respond rapidly to external market trends. This often means a change of systems or structure within the organization. However, in order to make these work, the employees must accept them and be willing to work with them. Yet, statistics show the vast majority of new implementations fail because there was little emotional acceptance within the organization.
Action Japan and affiliate partners offer a variety of custom-made programs aimed at reducing resistance and supporting the smooth implementation of change and transformation initiatives.

Developing Change Agents
An effective way of promoting change is creating ‘change agents’ within the organization. Change agents are people within the organization who champion the changes throughout the organization. Usually they are people who have ‘personal power’ (people respected within the organizational even though they may not hold positions of authority).
Action Japan uses its expertise in corporate culture change to coach and shadow change agents and cross-functional change teams to ensure optimal results.
