Welcome to the Community section of the Change Management ReviewTM! This feature provides a place for short relevant articles from the change management community that is different from our editorial curation and proprietary writing.
Here, we encourage the community to write up to 500 words on a thought, topic, or case study that they’d like to share, and assuming that the content is relevant, we’ll copy edit the work and post it here. These articles are not subject to our stricter editorial standards but provide real-time insights from practitioners for practitioners.
If you are interested in submitting an article, please send it to editor@changemanagementreview.com for review. Enjoy!
