Who is responsible for determining the best way to implement a change and then implementing it?

• A. Change sponsor
• B. Change advisor
• C. Change committee
• D. Change agent

Answer: (A)

The change sponsor leads the effort by deciding how a change should be implemented and driving its rollout. This role owns the initiative, aligning it with organizational goals, securing resources, and removing barriers so the plan can be put into practice. While others—such as someone who provides expert guidance, a group that governs changes, or the person who handles day-to-day execution—play important supporting roles, the sponsor is the one with the accountability and authority to determine the implementation approach and push it forward to completion.
