Slide 1: Title Slide
Title: Standardizing Change: A Framework for Sustainable Growth at ABC Corporation Subtitle: Change Management Recommendations for Future Initiatives Presenter: [Your Name], Consultant, ABC Corporation
Speaker Notes: "Good morning. As your consultant, I've developed a standardized framework for managing organizational change.

This framework is grounded in established change models and research."
Slide 2: The Need for Standardized Change Management
Title: Why Standardization Matters Image:
Key Points:
Reduce Change Fatigue: Prevent employee burnout and cynicism from poorly executed, rapid changes.
Increase ROI: Ensure that investments in new systems or processes yield their intended benefits by focusing on the people side of change.
Predictability & Consistency: Provide a repeatable, reliable process that leaders and employees can trust.
Mitigate Risk: Proactively identify and address resistance, lowering the risk of project failure.
Speaker Notes: "Implementing change without a standard process often leads to 'change fatigue'—employees get overwhelmed and resistant. A standardized approach helps us manage the volume and pace of change. Our focus isn't just on the technology or the process, but on the Return on Investment (ROI). A major initiative fails to deliver its ROI if the employees don't adopt it. This framework ensures predictability, consistency, and ultimately, higher rates of successful adoption."
