Hi Mohamed and Peter,
Two references I have co-authored below:
https://www.easa.europa.eu/community/topics/change-management-made-easy;
https://www.easa.europa.eu/document-library/general-publications/ehest-… (Chapter 8.9).
Simply stated, Change Management can be conceived as Risk Management applied to Changes, starting by questions familiar to Risk Managers:
What can go wrong with this Change?
How serious are the risks?
How to keep them acceptable with the resources available?
How to monitor that mitigations are affective?
A larger definition is provided e.g. in this article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_management
"Change management (sometimes abbreviated as CM) is a collective term for all approaches to prepare, support, and help individuals, teams, and organizations in making organizational change. It includes methods that redirect or redefine the use of resources, business process, budget allocations, or other modes of operation that significantly change a company or organization."
Comments?

Hello. I have been working with MoC and Risk Assessments for some years. Now I am working as a consultant for a IT company that has separate modules within a Flight Operation and Safety Management System for Management of Change and Risk Assessment. I can give you a short presentation if you wish. NB! No buying obligations. I will be available on Friday this week. Please send me an email if you are interested. terje.fjerdingen@fossumit.no

Hi Mohamed,

There is very good guidance on Management of Change (MOC) in ICAO Doc. 9859, Chapter 9.5.5, with a recommended 6-stage process described at Section 9.5.5.7. as follows;

a) Understand and define the change
b) understand and define who and what it will affect
c) identify hazards related to the change and carry out a safety risk assessment
d) develop an action plan
e) sign off on the change
f) assurance plan

Further expansions on these stages are descibed in Section 9.5.5.7.

Hope this helps,

Regards,
John Flanagan
