When managing change initiatives, project leaders and stakeholders must consider the impact the planned changes will have on a variety of factors throughout the business environment.

However, instead of focusing on common, if still misunderstood, techniques such as business cases, risk management and change control, this series explores some lesser known and underused practices that can make a fundamental difference to the success of a project.
While the word “environment” is most often associated these days with “being green,” the meaning in this series relates to the world that a planned change will operate in, and all of the aspects of that world that the planned change will disrupt, improve, add to, or eliminate.
