What is Behavioral Change Management (BCM)?

It is the development and execution of a strategy to help people:

employees, contractors, management, develop the skills and
motivations needed to move from the current state and thrive in the
future state.
Includes:

engagement of management teams to provide direction, support, and

communication of change
the project team understanding how their new technology will effect
the processes of the people that will use it as part of their job
the development of training and support plans - including post
implementation plans
inclusion of key employees, contractors, and management in the
development and execution of the project and BCM plan

Most people are motivated by their self-interests
People are most engaged and cooperative when they clearly understand the
personal or organizational benefits that the solution will provide to them.

Identify what the people who the project is suppose to benefit, see as their major
issues, at the start of the project, and relate how your project/implementation will
address these issues.
Most people are very good at doing their job in the current state. They need to be
shown, up front, how you will include and develop them to have the ability to do
their job very well in the future state - training, new equipment, support
mechanisms.

determined the project will go forward

in the project
Identify peers in their organization or industry using the solution, and have them
communicate the benefits of the project
Make it real by showing possible equipment that will be used by project and the
benefits expected
