What it is
Change management is the structured approach to transitioning people, processes, and organisations from a current state to a desired future state. In practice, it means making sure that a new system, a new process, or a new way of working actually gets adopted, not just deployed.
Most technology implementation projects treat change management as an add-on. We treat it as the core of the work, because the technology working is a given. The question is whether people use it, and use it properly.
When you need it
You need change management when you're asking people to work differently. A new CRM. A new process. A new system of record. A new way of selling, serving, or operating. The bigger the shift, the more resistance there will be, even from people who wanted the change in the first place.
You also need it when a previous rollout didn't stick and you need to understand why before doing it again.

How it connects
Change management rarely works in isolation. It connects with business analysis (you need to know what's changing before you can manage the change), CRM implementation (the adoption side of any platform project), and project management (change activities need to run alongside technical delivery, not after it).
