Disruptions Intensify Need for Holistic Change Management

With few platforms available for end-to-end management, most enterprises navigate organizational change using separate tools, ISG Provider Lens™ report says

Enterprises facing significant technology and operating changes are considering organizational change management (OCM) platforms that offer a more holistic view of change, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm.

The 2023 ISG Provider Lens™ OCM Platforms and Tools global report finds digital transformation, new workforce trends and changes in global business have forced many companies to craft strategies for implementing and sustaining change. Comprehensive OCM platforms, which cover an entire change initiative and track data and project assessments from beginning to end, can help organizations effectively manage such projects, the report says.

“Enterprise change is difficult if it is not done right,” said Randy Geoghagan, ISG partner and leader, Enterprise Change. “Projects carried out using holistic OCM have a much higher success rate.”

However, because there are a limited number of OCM platforms, most organizations bolt together tools built for functions such as training, project management and unified communications and collaboration (UCC), ISG says.

As the availability of purpose-built OCM platforms expands, enterprises will be able to gain several benefits, the report says. By giving team members more ways to participate and provide feedback, end-to-end OCM systems increase employee engagement and allow it to be measured in real time. Holistic OCM also prevents rework and reduces costs by automating, tracking and analyzing outcomes. Such platforms can also improve compliance with regulations for managing change and informing employees.

OCM platforms are increasingly designed around providing the best possible employee experience, using features such as social learning tools, real-time feedback channels and personalized change journeys that employees can track, ISG says. AI and ML are also increasingly important components, providing personalized recommendations, automating tasks and scheduling communications.

The growing integration of OCM software with other enterprise systems, including HR, CRM and learning management platforms, gives organizations a more holistic view of change and the ability to align change initiatives with other business goals, the report says.

“The market for end-to-end OCM platforms is still emerging, but companies are recognizing the need to comprehensively manage transitions,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “Change management is a vital and promising field.”

The report also explores other OCM trends, including the ongoing evolution of training platforms and demand for more pricing options.
