Cost–benefit analysis (CBA) is a systematic approach to estimating the strengths and weaknesses of alternatives that satisfy transactions, activities or functional requirements for a business.

Applying change management on a project is not free. It takes time, energy and resources. The primary cost components of change management include:

· Change management resource costs - Salary and compensation for change management practitioners

· Training costs - Design, development, delivery and materials

· Communications costs - Design, development, delivery and materials

In addition to these primary cost components which were identified most frequently, there were several secondary cost components identified by study participants including:

· Consultant costs

· General expenses

· Event costs (workshops, group meetings, "lunch and learn" events, road shows and town hall meetings)

· Change management materials

· Reinforcement and recognition costs
