A change management strategy is a plan for how to make something different. 

In business, a change management strategy describes specific ways in which an organization will address such things as changes in the supply chain, inventory requirements, scheduling or project scope. The goal of establishing a formal strategy is to ensure that any negative effects of change will be minimized.
