Some possible reasons why change management is important for a business audience are:

• It helps to engage and empower the employees, stakeholders, and customers who are affected by the changes.
• It helps to reduce the risks, costs, and resistance associated with the changes.
• It helps to increase the effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability of the changes.

There are different models or frameworks for change management, but some common steps include

• Identifying the need and scope of the change, as well as the goals, vision, and values of the organization.
• Assessing the impact and readiness of the organization, as well as the risks, costs, and benefits of the change.
• Planning and communicating the change strategy, as well as the roles, responsibilities, and expectations of the change agents and stakeholders.
• Implementing and monitoring the change deliverables, as well as the feedback, support, and training of the employees and customers.
