No matter your career stage, research gives you a broader perspective on the complex topic of organizational development. Research helps you see how change management works. And that process allows you to understand new ways to make change projects more successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The internet is your friend if you want to know more about change management. Countless resources are out there, claiming to improve your change management expertise. But how do you make a start with such a large body of work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re here to help. In this article, we\u2019ll briefly introduce change management research in 2023. We\u2019ll start by explaining the formats change management research can take and the importance of reading change research. Then, we\u2019ll explain some of the best ways of finding research. Finally, the article highlights some of the key pieces of research for 2023 and the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading this article can\u2019t replace years of experience and education. But, by the time you\u2019ve finished reading, you\u2019ll understand how to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Is Change Management Research?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve come this far, you already know what change management is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if there\u2019s one thing you know about change management, implementing change is tough. We can\u2019t say exactly how many change projects fail, although the 70% failure rate is probably a myth. But responsible leaders know the pitfalls \u2013 and do everything they can to prevent this from happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s where change management research comes in. Change management researchers analyze and evaluate every part of the organizational change process. Researchers in change management may look at corporate culture, communication strategies, leadership styles, and employee engagement. The findings from this research can support individuals who want to make the best change projects possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img height=\"878\" width=\"1024\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/There-are-several-ways-to-study-change-management-including-the-following-approaches__6667e57a.jpg?w=1024&#038;h=878&#038;crop=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/There-are-several-ways-to-study-change-management-including-the-following-approaches__6667e57a.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/There-are-several-ways-to-study-change-management-including-the-following-approaches__6667e57a.jpg?resize=300,257 300w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/There-are-several-ways-to-study-change-management-including-the-following-approaches__6667e57a.jpg?resize=1024,878 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many different ways to study change management. Research on this topic might involve some of the following:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Individual Case Studies&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Theoretical models&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Action research&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trends and forecasting&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quantitative analysis (profits, turnover)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Qualitative analysis \u2013 interviews, focus groups,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Longitudinal analysis&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thought leadership<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As we\u2019ll see, finding change management research covering several of these areas is a good idea.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Is Change Management Research Important?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSurely!\u201d I hear business leaders cry out. \u201cCan someone just tell me the best to do change management \u2013 and then we\u2019ll do that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, it\u2019s not quite as simple as that. Finding the best solution for each scenario takes sensitivity, experience, and knowledge. With change management research, we have many examples that have gone before us. We can learn from what\u2019s worked and what hasn\u2019t worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Trying to change in a changing world<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The world creates new challenges for organizations every day. And the specific strategies for change projects change with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1980s, McKinsey analyst Julien Philips understood his challenges for change projects very well. His classic article, <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/hrm.3930220125\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">\u201cEnhancing the Effectiveness of organizational change management,\u201d<\/a> starts by explaining his working context. The challenges facing change projects in the US included deregulation, slower economic growth, foreign competition, and technological development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1980s, older models of organizational change were no longer enough. Already, Lewin\u2019s famous strategies from the 1930s weren\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same is true for us today. Perhaps we can learn from the history of change management. But no previous generation had to deal with the aftereffects of covid, the great resignation, or imminent climate catastrophe. In this situation, only research can help us to develop clearer visions of the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>No need to reinvent the wheel<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand \u2013 research gives us a solid base on which to make decisions. If someone\u2019s done great work, they help every change leader create a better roadmap for the future. When you read the research, you\u2019ll find new ideas for how to face challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But good researchers go deeper into these questions. That might mean:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They test data and statistics (do 70% of change projects fail?)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They gather and compare different models<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They explore different industries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They point out the flaws in other research.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words \u2013 researchers have done the hard work, so you don\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Each organization has similarities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we should mention one important assumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s worth reading research into change management because different organizations behave similarly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No one\u2019s claiming that two things are identical. But there\u2019s a reason that we have models like Boston Consulting Group\u2019s DICE framework, Kotter\u2019s 8-Step process for change, or the Prosci ADKAR model. Change management teams understand that these methods connect with their real problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such frameworks don\u2019t pretend to capture the full complexity of an organization. They simply show that organizations can learn from one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So overall, research into change management is a bit of a paradox. On the one hand, the world is constantly changing, and nothing stays the same. On the other, we should assume that organizations do behave similarly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Are The Main Sources for Change Management Research?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img height=\"474\" width=\"1024\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/The-Main-Sources-for-Change-Management-Research_25667e57.jpg?w=1024&#038;h=474&#038;crop=1\" alt=\"The Main Sources for Change Management Research\" class=\"wp-image-17705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/The-Main-Sources-for-Change-Management-Research_25667e57.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/The-Main-Sources-for-Change-Management-Research_25667e57.jpg?resize=300,139 300w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/The-Main-Sources-for-Change-Management-Research_25667e57.jpg?resize=1024,474 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Business research comes in many different shapes and sizes. That\u2019s what makes it such an interesting field. Depending on what you need, you might want to read about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Theoretical Models for change management<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Up-to-the-minute reports from major consultancies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Academic books and articles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Individual thought leaders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All of these sources have valuable ideas. So, in this section, we\u2019ll look through these different categories and explain how they can add to your knowledge of change management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, we\u2019ve already compiled a great list of change management reviews, journals, and blogs. Head over to the link if you\u2019d like some more suggestions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Models for the Change Management Process<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img height=\"544\" width=\"1024\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Models-for-the-Change-Management-Process_51667e57.jpg?w=1024&#038;h=544&#038;crop=1\" alt=\"Models for the Change Management Process\" class=\"wp-image-17707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Models-for-the-Change-Management-Process_51667e57.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Models-for-the-Change-Management-Process_51667e57.jpg?resize=300,160 300w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Models-for-the-Change-Management-Process_51667e57.jpg?resize=1024,544 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the \u201cbig picture\u201d research\u2014the books that make you think differently about the nature of change itself. Whether or not these texts have got it right, we need to argue and wrestle with these generation-defining thinkers that make us see things differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the tried-and-tested models based on the research include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Kurt Lewin, \u201cFrontiers in Group Dynamics\u201d (1947)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peter Senge, <em>The Fifth Discipline <\/em>(1990)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>William Bridges, <em>Managing Transitions: Making the Most of Change<\/em> (1994)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>John Kotter, <em>Leading Change <\/em>(1996) and <em>The Heart of Change <\/em>(2002)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>From BCG authors, <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2005\/10\/the-hard-side-of-change-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">\u201cThe Hard Side of Change Management\u201d<\/a> (2005)&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These days, you\u2019ll read plenty of articles claiming that there are five, eight, ten, or fifteen specific steps to complete a successful change project. The reality is there are several different ways of thinking about change. Reads these people thoroughly, and see what you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you want a bit more breadth? Palgrave has a <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/referencework\/10.1007\/978-3-319-52878-6?page=3#toc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><em>Handbook of Organizational Change Thinkers<\/em><\/a><em> <\/em>(2018). It\u2019s perfect if you want to see the most influential people in this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Academic books and journals.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cbig picture\u201d books are great. However, they won\u2019t keep you up to date on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In universities worldwide, there are people whose WHOLE job is to produce research about change management. They write up their findings in journal articles and scholarly books. These publications go through peer review \u2013 in other words, the ideas have been more or less thoroughly tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some ideas, take a browse through the following:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Journal of Change Management&nbsp;<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Journal of Organizational Change Management<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>People Management<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Academy of Management Journal<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All of these journals publish excellent research from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, when the world is changing very quickly, academic writing can still go quite slowly when the world is changing very quickly. Academic writing is still insufficient to keep your finger on the pulse of change management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reports from big consultancies&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to keep up to date with what\u2019s happening in change management, you must stay in touch with the research outputs from big companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A regular stream of change management surveys, analysis, and thought leadership comes from major consultancies. Just check out the websites of McKinsey, Gartner, Kotter, BCG, and Deloitte, if you want to know more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These consulting firms produce regular reports that offer insights, advice, and recommendations for change management. These reports can provide valuable and up-to-date research to help organizations address their most pressing needs, such as adapting to technological disruptions, creating a more agile organization, or building a culture of innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, be aware that consulting firms have their own biases and interests, which can influence their advice. It is important to critically evaluate the information provided by consulting firms and consider multiple sources before making decisions about change management strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Individual thought leadership<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not so long ago, universities, publishers, and major organizations were the only ways to better understand change management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s digital world, the playing field is much broader. Individuals and small companies can all produce their own commentary on critical issues in management practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can get excellent insights into change management from YouTube, LinkedIn, and Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key Change Management Research for 2023<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, change management will remain a vital area for businesses looking to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving landscape. In this final section, we\u2019ve selected three key reports that will help you navigate the latest research and trends in this field,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These sources include the most recent McKinsey Global Survey, a BCG report on sustainability, and a crucial scholarly article on change management models. Collectively, these articles provide valuable insights and information to help improve your understanding of change management research in 2023 and beyond. Let\u2019s dive in and explore these important resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>McKinsey Global Surveys<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The McKinsey Global Surveys are a series of research studies that change management. The latest set of results from 2021 is available on their website, with previous studies dating back to 2010, 2015, and 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/capabilities\/people-and-organizational-performance\/our-insights\/successful-transformations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">McKinsey\u2019s latest change management research<\/a>, they found ways to get through the challenges of change projects. It\u2019s common to hear that change management initiatives are difficult to execute. But McKinsey\u2019s surveys show that positive outcomes can be achieved through iterative approaches to change. Moreover, successful projects managed to bring change processes into regular work routines. Everyone does better when briefings, target setting, and planning are regular parts of the work week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The surveys also highlight three core factors contributing to success: conducting evidence-based assessments to identify improvement opportunities, adapting goals to suit employees at different levels, and deploying high-achieving staff to lead critical projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, this research remains a key source of information from one of the world\u2019s leading management consultancies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understand the Past, and look to the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you remember what we said about not re-inventing the wheel? One article that does much useful work for us is <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full\/10.1177\/18479790211016273#bibr1-18479790211016273\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">\u201cThe Determinants of organizational change management success<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article is an easy way to become fluent in change management vocabulary and techniques. In their analysis of determining factors of success:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They show us how to compare different models of change \u2013 including Lewin, Kotter, Mento, Cummings &amp; Worsley)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Draws attention to the different emphases in different models \u2013 whether on employees engagement, Management, or resistance&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Offers an extensive list of critical factors for success.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you read it, you\u2019ll have an up-to-date overview of the possibilities. It\u2019s a quick way to contribute better to ongoing leadership discussions about change management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>BCG, \u201cChallenges of a Sustainability Transformation\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Putting aside success and failure, research can help us understand the key challenges of the day. And in 2023, one of the key areas is sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BCG has recently released a report titled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcg.com\/publications\/2022\/the-challenges-of-a-sustainability-transformation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">\u201cChallenges of a Sustainability Transformation.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Written by prominent members of the BCG team, the report gives a fantastic overview of the issues in changing to an environmentally sustainable organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report outlines the complex challenges of addressing sustainability across the supply chain. New solutions emerge rapidly, compliance requirements are becoming more strict, and securing funding within a business is still hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drawing from their extensive insider knowledge, the authors provide insights into how organizations can effectively focus their change efforts and determine the best approach for implementing change. While the report is not comprehensive, it offers innovative ideas and strategies based on the authors\u2019 experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Managing Change with the Voice of Experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To finish this article, let\u2019s mention one thing very quietly. It\u2019s this: there can be a downside to research. Research is a rabbit hole. Once you start reading, you can just go deeper and deeper. If you\u2019re not careful, you can end up being indecisive. Perhaps you\u2019ll try to make too many priorities. So, just make sure you select the insights that work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as you don\u2019t overdo it, there\u2019s no harm in research. We\u2019ve explained in this article how research can be important. We looked at some of the most important formats for change management research. And we took a little trip through some of the key research findings for 2023.There are plenty of resources for change management articles.
