The Organizational Change Management Lead (OCM Lead) will manage a portfolio of client engagements, working with the customer to define the target state vision post-change, document the plan to get to the target state, and enable the users to adapt to the change with minimal disruption. At a high level, each OCM engagement might include:

• Identification of the stakeholders impacted by the change initiative
• An assessment of how those impacts will be felt, and by whom
• Development of an OCM plan - education, communication, engagement needs, etc. - that will support the users through the change and facilitate adoption in the target state
• Development of the collateral as defined by the OCM plan

The OCM Lead plays an indispensable role in developing, driving and implementing the OCM plan. As a consultant to the customer and project sponsor, the OCM Lead will leverage their experience to define a change plan that is fit-for-purpose for that customer and that project, because Atos knows that every customer is unique and we value flexibility, adaptability and innovative thinking in our approach to meeting our customer’s needs. While customer engagements take precedence, the OCM Lead will also provide support to elevate organizational change management competency throughout Atos.
