The execution of organisational transformations requires a systematic strategy, which is known as managing strategic change. It ensures that staff members have the assistance and resources they need during the transition. Strategic change managers use models to enable deliberate change, ensuring that it is in line with the aims and objectives of the business. The change management strategy encourages openness and direction, improving coordination between important stakeholders and staff members during the change process. It emphasises the value of transformational leadership in fostering an environment that is conducive to change, as well as the necessity for change agents to possess specific traits and abilities in order to successfully manage the change process. The article also covers the ADKAR change model, a potent tool for managing change and reducing opposition. The essay finishes by outlining typical obstacles to successful organisational change and tactics for overcoming them. The research emphasises the significance of comprehending and controlling the human side of change, in addition to the technical components, in order to achieve successful organisational transformation.
