My background is change management in IT and over the past 30 years I have seen the evolution of change management as a discipline that attempts to bring some order to the management of change. We do this to create traceability and accountability, so that changes can be undone and processes refined to avert future incidents. <br /><br />The big lesson I have learned is that you cannot assure repeatability of the full change process. You can create some macro level checkpoints and track what happens, but as you note, the human factor has to judge how individual changes are handled at a micro level. That way you can assure auditability and accountability, but predictability is still wishful thinking in most cases. <br /><br />I too am looking forward to your future articles.Pradeep Bhanothttp://community.ca.com/blogs/ppm/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840215295218933933.post-53778053569964460102009-07-10T01:20:32.650+01:002009-07-10T01:20:32.650+01:00Looking forward to the series Holger. I&#39;m also interested in these models, and find it funny how some are so proud and protective of their models when they are so similar to others, and as you&#39;ve mentioned; not universally applicable.<br /><br />While none are the perfect fit for every scenario, I think to have a model as a frameworks to build a plan around is a positive. It just remains important that each phase of the model is questioned.Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16774855042572343164noreply@blogger.com
