The goal of change management in an organization is fundamentally to modify operations with minimal disruption. This process involves preparing, supporting, and helping individuals to make organizational changes effectively. Change management strategies are designed to ensure that when changes are implemented, such as new technologies, processes, or organizational structures, employees can adjust smoothly to minimize negative impacts on productivity and morale.

By focusing on minimizing disruption, the organization can maintain stability and continuity in its operations, which is essential for achieving long-term success. This approach also encourages employee buy-in and can enhance the overall adoption of the new changes, leading to a more effective transformation process. In contrast, objectives like increasing revenue, enforcing strict adherence to rules, or reducing the workforce can often be outcomes influenced by effective change management but do not encapsulate the primary goal of managing change itself.
