Change Management Plan Communication Plan
Identify the potential sources of resistance to change and develop strategies to manage resistance to change.
Some of the resistance to change would be things like habit that is formed from employees over time, or the security that they feel in their current role in the company.

Riordan would then know going forward what not o do, and so would our consulting company. Another tool that can be used to measure the success or the failure of the company would be goals that are put into place by the company.
