Change Management.

Paul, you may want to define change management. In my past life I was a "organizational" change management guru. Also involved in "process" change management as related to safety standards. Based on fact you mentioned contracts, are you referring to formal process for managing contract changes?

My expereince with change management is with regard to employees and how to help them manage personal job related changes in the workplace during reorganizations, downsizing, acquisitions, and the like. More along the lines of motivationally based....

I was dubbed “The KING” of contract change management in MY previous life. A large percentage of my projects made more money (for the companies I represented) on change management than on the initial contracts. I’m sure both of you have a great understanding of its importance on major efforts, large projects and high dollar contracts.
I was trying to see if there was any interest in conversation on the subject as it relates to P/W contracting (systems, presentations, importance, perspectives, experiences, etc.).

Could you define Change Management and describe it's applicability to Pressure Washing?? This is one of those terms that most would have no need to know unless they were in a management position over many. And unless someone is college educated (which many of us are not) or spends time reading Management books, they would have had no exposure to this term/system.
Please explain in Layman's terms what this is. Most of us are Pressure Washers first, scholars second

Hi Paul,
I think there is interest in the topic, but it might help in my opinion, if you define it in layman's terms and give some real life examples of it as it might apply to a small business owner.
I would like to ask you to write an article on it for the Grime Scene....
You game?

Excuse my more than normal blabbering – one of my dearest friend’s/quazi-son’s/partner’s mother has just passed away this week and my thoughts are racing between sympathy, care, mourning, friendship, taking care of business, …. She was a young 51 and died from heart failure.
I will respond on the subject of Contract Change Management in more specifics shortly.

“Contract or Scope Change Management”:
Changes that increase or decrease scope (work), require increased estimating effort, increase or decrease in work effort hours, increase or decrease in equipment or supplies, increase or decrease in equipment supply usage or require increase or decrease of money being spent.
Scope Change or Scope Creep if uncontrolled and unpaid for can be very costly in time and money to all size business. Before a company realizes, the profits begin to slip away and more effort is spent with less net income to show for the hard work.
In order to avoid unrealized scope creep (work being executed without being paid for) a base must be set for the changes to be measured against. This base is called “The Contract”. Regardless of business size, contracts are an important part of running a profitable and efficient business. Lack of pertinent content in a contract can have negative monetary impact on a business – be it actual dollar amount or time spent (converted into dollars).
Contract Change Management starts with first establishing a solid contract. In order to quickly identify changes, cost impacts and who is responsible, you need to ensure all contracts contain specific expectations and remedies. Along with the legal statements on a contract, I believe all contracts should contain a Task Definition Statement, Assumptions and Exceptions.
