Change...it's inevitable. How change is approached within an organization may be as important as the change itself. The means used to announce and implement the change can directly influence the outcome. The Air Force Financial Management (FM) community faces significant change over the next several years, both to its organizational structure and its business operations, as a result of ongoing transformation initiatives. The success of these initiatives will directly influence the long-term viability of the FM community and the support it provides its customers. This paper provides a background to three of the transformation initiatives that primarily affect base-level operations, discusses possible barriers to change and reviews the ways to overcome these barriers. Finally, the paper concludes with specific recommendations to ensure the changes are both effective and accepted.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
