What is Change Management Consulting?

[@ElleEllieX]

I am a change manager/practitioner. I think you did a great job at a high-level change management consultant role - what's the point of companies having role(s) like this. And I agree with the "why" you choosing this role; helping others in this way makes it worth while.

[@isabellacorrea512_]

This is so relatable in the various jobs I’ve had with a job transitioning into new systems or business owners. Being on this side of it makes me feel like I could influence the management side of things. This is cool.

[@bykchoi]

I’m so glad!!! Thank you!

[@amiistar11]

I’m planning on doing a master in management this coming September. The company i currently work is constantly changing every 6 months and always want the employee input. I always have ideas in my head to make the systems run smoother. It seems so interesting. Thank you for this

[@motiveeHQ]

Thanks, Kristina, for this very helpful overview of change management consulting, including typical types of change, stages of change, and client management.

[@axl2531]

Do a video on what the interview was like!

[@bykchoi]

good idea!

[@averagetime]

kchoi how do you get to people accepting the change or how do we get them onboard to the change

[@iamteamthinkbig]

@@bykchoihow many interviews did you go through. I went through multiple rounds and didn’t get the role I was so irritated. I’ve worked in CM for about a decade and looking for a new role.

[@Abigail-py3vk]

I'm so happy I found this video! I just graduated from Cal, and I studied English like you. I just got invited to speak with a recruiter about a change management role, and this really helped break down what it is.

[@goandrewgoh]

As a current MBA candidate, consulting is the most popular career choice among students like me and videos like yours are very very informative and helpful. Thank you.

[@bykchoi]

thank you!! 😭

[@Grace-fo2ns]

Omg so helpful. Thank you I'm so interested in change management😍

[@bykchoi]

[@rashadyazdanifard1931]

Fantastically explained , Great Job. I enjoyed the video!

[@sashavrbica6466]

Nice video! Are there any good general frameworks describing the Change Management capabilities and competencies that you would recommend?

[@Priss6284]

thank you for this awesome video! i recently went through interviews in management consulting and implementation, and you just described the most important ideas that i would outline when answering the case interview! wish i had this video before my interviews, and hopefully it helps other students interested in consulting, specifically human capital/tech :)

[@bykchoi]

Ahh thank you!!!

[@babablacksphee]

My favourite quotes about change management is " nothing is permanent change is the only thing which is permanent"

[@ricklentless]

Well, this video suggested by youtube since I am looking for references that help me start the change management project. What I’d like at first is leader on the same page. This is challenging part. That’s even more challenging when working at government-owned company. Have you involved with government-owned company? I would like to get some insights about how to deal with various leaders thought.

[@amberoath]

Super helpful video - keep up the content, your channel is definitely a goldmine!

[@bykchoi]

ahh thank you!!

[@luiscader]

Well done!, I look at this topic really closely and I find it so refreshing to have someone share their insights and perspectives on change management, I feel like watching another passionate tribe member jajaja, Great Content, this is the second time I've seen your videos, They really give me energy. Keep going you're doing great! I bet your audience will love to know about pricing strategies for strategy consultants, complex stuff when it comes putting a value on change! ;)

[@benokechukwu9387]

Hey Kchoi thanks for the video it was great watching you explain change management. Though my first time

[@weiliqiang7142]

Thank you K Choi! The company I am working in struggles to change. When I heard people complaining (including my manager, my boss...), doubting, rumouring around, my little petite head was overwhelmed, not to mention my mood. So I am getting very interested in this topic. K Choi you are becoming my role model haha~ #the power of an amazing influencer#

[@andygarcia2303]

Currently getting a bachelors degree in Business Entrepreneurship & Innovation at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. This is my favorite channel by far. This is literally exactly what i was born to do. What would you say are some good programs, books, mentors, films etc. you would recommend for someone getting started in change management consulting. Thank you!

[@loganmarquis7378]

This was extremely well done and organized. Everything about it was awesome. :)

[@littlefeatherstudio]

I was thinking going into consulting and your video is very helpful. Thank you for sharing! ❤️

[@bykchoi]

I’m glad!!

[@ImperialArmour]

Change management often comes in as a result of a new CEO; it is political, factional, and firings(attempted at least) are involved. The examples you give are more on changing out systems, "rip-and-replace" as it was known. From an IT perspective, transitioning to new systems is really painful for everyone, especially if there are partners up and downstream(manufacturers and retailers) that mandate the use of certain ancient technologies. Hope you get to consult with one of these older companies, and when you do remember to build good relationships with the incumbent staff.

[@harshdokania4109]

Hi Choi! As native Korean living in NYC over decade, I was very 반가웠어요! to find your channel. I am psychology B.A candidate, looking into go i/o psychology master program... While I was searching I came across "consulting". I have been researching about the industry, and I find your videos really helpful in terms of getting idea of industry. I also really enjoyed with Q&A with Judy as well as Q&A of yours. I was surprised to hear that you don't really need a business major to get your foot into the door! Gives me huge hope! Subscribed. :) Can we also discuss about how to prepare for the internship/full time interview without experience in consulting ? As recent college graduate student or while in the college taking internship. Thank you so much and look forward more videos!

Thank you so much for this video - do you find it challenging sometimes if you weren't involved in the first stage or if you help with the implementation of changes you might not "agree with" or which could have a negative impact on some roles? Does this happen?

I'm an undergrad management major who is graduating this spring. Some of my favorite undergrad classes were strategic management and organizational change. I also took a systems design class where we discussed employee resistance to new information systems during deployment. I'm looking into a Master's in HR right now that covers career development, training, change management, etc. Do you think this would be a good way to break into the management consulting industry? Do you think project management certifications are useful as well? Thank you from a new subscriber!

Hey there I am a new subscriber and I love you content. I have few question I think only you could answer them. I graduated from industrial engineering with low GPA and I work now as a change Management analyst in the largest utility company in middle east. So my question is what are my chances to work in big consulting firms like EY,PWC ..ect? How many years should I work in my current job before apllying to the firms? And what should I do to boost my chances to get in them. Ex. Get MBA,PMP?

hello, thank you for your video, actually, I want be a consultant like you at different field. I ve just got PR in Canada which means it is beginning of Second life to me. so, I really dont know about all the things to be consultant. is there some recommended course or major that I must do? I'm so serious now. if possible I want to chat with you about it but I know you are so busy. I would like to be happy if you leave comment to me thank you.

[@isabellacorrea512_]

What’s the GPA it took for you to get into the grad school in London? And what was your Masters GPA in English? Do you suggest English is still the way to go since becoming a consultant?

[@isabellacorrea512_]

Also when you consult is it just with the company leaders or do you try to ask the people at the bottom how their experience can help create a better flow too? What’s working what’s not at a employee level?

[@bykchoi]

I had a 3.58 GPA for my BA in English (in the U.S.) and I got a Distinction for my Master's in Management (was not a master's in English). Most people study business or economics when they go into consulting but there are also a lot who have degrees in engineering or the humanities. It really all depends! In terms of leaders vs. front line people... at the beginning of the change process, it's usually with leaders. Later on, it's more with front line people. We even do focus group tests with front line people to make sure the messages are resonating with that audience, because they're ultimately the people who have the execute the change!

[@isabellacorrea512_]

Hey Kristina..i have heard that consulting is not a long term career. So is it true?

Hi how often do consultants travel or how often do you travel?

[@HereDiianas]

Hi I have the same job but I am specialized in finance. It really depends. I work in Paris and all the big financial companies are already in Paris so I don't need to travel I just move from company to company in the city. But I have colleague who go back and forth to London... So if you work in a BIG city you might be able not to travel if you don't want to but you'll find out in the job offer or during the interview if it is required or not. It also depends on the project you will work on but you always know that before agreeing to a new mission. Then after a few years you can become independent so you'll decide.

[@ksjupikm]

Hello, could you please tell us how would you justify a company hiring change management consultant instead of delegating this to their own senior team?

[@bykchoi]

The senior team probably doesn’t have the bandwidth to take on the change management implementation. Also, they’re experts in their own company/industry, but not on how to effectively engage people in change.

I love how the west presents obvious things in such sophisticated vocabulary you immediately think it is so difficult and complicated that it ends up being complicated lol Basically you assist the company in doing things they can’t be bothered wasting their time on when they should be working.
