Service Transition

Stage
3

Transition refers to movement, passage, or change from one position, state, stage, subject, concept, etc... to another.

No change is without risk. In fact, change can create extra risk. When transitioning services, focus on communication planning for awareness and compliance. One of the biggest challenges in service transition is changing people's behavior to accommodate a new or different service. People have a psychological need to feel safe and comfortable with changes to them and around them.
