Organizational Change Management (OCM)
Engaging a consultant for Organizational Change Management (OCM) ensures expert guidance during complex transitions like mergers, acquisitions, or restructuring. Consultants develop tailored strategies to align leadership, communicate effectively, and mitigate resistance.
