In the world of higher education, introducing new technology often feels like an uphill battle. Whether it’s a new Student Information System (SIS), ERP platform, or learning management tool, one truth remains constant: technology won’t transform anything if people don’t adopt it.
That’s where Organizational Change Management (OCM) becomes the game-changer.
What is OCM—and Why Does It Matter?
OCM is the strategic process of preparing, supporting, and enabling people through change. In higher ed, this could mean:
- Helping faculty adapt to a new LMS
- Guiding administrators through a revamped reporting system
- Ensuring staff understand how their roles will evolve with a new ERP
Too often, institutions focus on the tech—but forget the people.
The Stakes Are Higher Than You Think
Without proper change management, you risk:
- Resistance from faculty and staff
- Low adoption of systems (resulting in costly underutilization)
- Delays in project go-lives
- Declining morale and burnout
In contrast, strong OCM results in smoother transitions, higher satisfaction, and faster ROI.
