Managing organizational change is essential. Developing plans to move an organization into a desired state begins with assessing its present state. Often, new technologies, processes, or structures are introduced. The social systems within an organization play a crucial role in organizational change management. How individuals respond to proposed changes is heavily influenced by these systems. Social systems comprise people, relationships, roles, and norms. They influence how individuals view, react to, and adopt change and how open people are to change. In a supportive social system, people may accept and embrace change. In contrast, individuals may resist change if a social system resists change. Before initiating organizational changes, an organization's social context must be understood. Various methods, such as interviews, surveys, and focus groups, can be used. Understanding the social context helps achieve the greatest acceptance. It can also identify potential resistance points and suggest strategies to overcome them. The influence of social systems on organizational change management cannot be overstated. Ultimately, understanding a social system is essential for successful organizational change management
