CHANGE MANAGEMENT
New, practical “change tool” launched by CIPD
The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) has launched a collection of practical tools, focusing on change, re-organisation and the role of HR professionals.
The tool allows the user to think through the issues affecting their organisation, with diagnostic exercises and checklists to complete. It is designed to help HR generalists and business partners who are working to develop change management capability and supporting their staff in coping with a planned disruptive change.

The tool draws on current thinking and includes up-to-date examples of good practice from a range of case-study organisations, including: Oxfam, Cancer Research UK, RAT Homes and Ask Nobel.
According to the CIPD, the tool allows the user to:
expand their knowledge and skills on concepts and applications of approaches to organisational change
provide a seven-step flexible framework for understanding organisational change
deliver a high-quality change management service to clients.
A final word
“This new tool offers a practical and interactive way for HR professionals to plan, prepare and manage organisational change. We feel this new tool will benefit HR practitioners working to manage and minimise any adverse effects from change, particularly in the public sector, which is facing a potentially challenging period of change following the spending review.” - Rebecca Clarke, Research Adviser, CIPD.
“The prospect of major business transformation can raise concerns for HR practitioners. However this change tool will help them work through scenarios, diagnose problems and develop a coherent strategy, minimising any potentially challenging issues.” - Naomi Stanford, author of Approaches to Change: Building capability and confidence.
