It requires understanding the reasons why change is necessary, identifying areas that require modification and clearly defining the goals and benefits that the change is to bring. Change management is a dynamic process that requires flexibility, openness to feedback and readiness to adapt the strategy depending on people's reactions and changing conditions.
