"True" OCM Managers are those professionals who have a blend of business acumen, hard nosed project management and delivery skills, deep knowledge of change models (and the wisdom to use or switch to the right models) as well as the breadth and depth of experience honed over extensive years of "walking the talk". They are the rare breed that can blend the logical with the emotional to drive sustainable improvement.

How do you identify a 'real' change manager? Gee whiz - a loaded question that one hey?It’s starting with the assumption that there is such thing as a “real” change manager, which I am not really comfortable with. I maintain that people come from all sorts of disciplines to play critical roles in change, and add significant value, and I get wary of the desire to “pigeon hole” or create a cookie cutter template of a “real” change manager.on.
