Why oh why are these 'bosses' too dim to see that you don't want techies doing the change management. Too often a techie is obliged to become a manager in order to earn more. Enough of this foolishness - when I ran a software company the manager of the software development department usually earned less than some of the techies, because I refused to promote excellent techies and compromise the business. Once managers understand that different roles attract different salaries and that excellent techies get excellent salaries then there is no problem. If an excellent 'change manager' wants the job at several £1000 less than some techies then they will apply for the post and do a great job. Stop thinking like Victorians and get up to date.
