Unexpected or unplanned change?

Usually organizational change deals with planned change. But change management can also involve unexpected change. This article discusses what can happen when the owner of a Mittelstand company gets sick, is injured, or even dies: ‘Notfallplan – Wenn der Chef ausfällt’ :: Management Impulse

Organizations should have contingency plans in place, so that an unexpected change is not an unplanned change. It’s far easier to have successful change management with a planned change. All companies should plan for the unexpected, so that an unexpected change is actually a planned change.
