Change is a constant factor in all organizations, ranging from how you change systems, approach new markets, or even change your business model(s). However, good change management remains the deciding factor as to whether your teams thrive or descend into chaos — informed decisions about what to act on or when become muddied in poor communication, and even duplicated efforts, as well as confused lines of responsibility and authority. These problems can undermine even the best of intentions with respect to any transformation.
That’s why businesses are turning to best project management tools that provide structure, visibility, and alignment across all levels of operation. These tools help companies transform uncertainty into organized execution, ensuring change happens smoothly, strategically, and without unnecessary disruption.
Lark Approval: Bringing clarity to change decisions
Change frequently requires some level of approval – whether it’s for budget allocations or changing the process. When approvals are handled through a combination of fragmented emails or meetings delays and confusion become inevitable. Lark Approval creates structure within the decision making process, and ensures progress won’t stop.
- Standardized request forms: Allow for the creation of templates for reoccurring approvals, like project changes or policy updates, to create a uniform set of data.
- Transparent tracking: A dashboard allows decision-makers to easily view all of the pending and completed requests to allow for them to quickly prioritize urgent requests
- Real-time notifications: Managers will automatically be reminded to review and approve requests in real-time, within Lark or via email.
- Decision logs: An appeal of having an entire system is every approval is tracked in a log helping with accountability and compliance standards.
- Process automation: Enable an automated workflow to route requests to the right people automatically, reducing manual intervention.
By reducing back-and-forth communication and giving everyone clear visibility, Approval makes decision-making faster and more reliable — two essentials for managing change at scale.
Lark Tasks: Structuring accountability during transformation

Lark Calendar: Synchronizing timelines for smoother transitions
When dealing with change, the timing is everything if multiple departments or regions are involved. Bad timing results in missed deadlines, botched work efforts or operational down time. Lark Calendar is here to help you with your transitions in the most coordinated and predictable way possible.
