Key roles in organisational change

Who are the persons who initiate organisational change to accelerate its implementation and

ensure its seamless execution? Several characters play their parts. This includes both external

and internal roles. The consultant$($s$),$ internal resource persons, corporate management, and

implementation team are the six primary functions of various change agents in relation to

organisational transformation. A consultant or team of consultants typically comes from

outside, but they can also be insiders. Even if the expert is an outsider, certain members of the

organisation collaborate with him. These persons have the same competence as the consultant,

or at least seek to develop it$.$ In many organisations, these individuals are referred to as Internal

Resource Persons $($IRP$)$ or facilitators. Much greater emphasis should be paid to the work of

the IRP, as there are various important concerns to consider.
