You can use various techniques, depending where you are on the fretboard. If you do from chord A > barre chord B or vice versa, try to play the change as slowly as you can, so your brain can focus on all fingers at once. If don't do it ultra slow, you can't really practice properly the change, because you can focus on 1-2 fingers max. If you do it ultra slow you can focus on all fingers, and know exactly what every one of them has to do. This way when you go up to speed, your brain will remember those exact movements (providing that you did go up the tempo gradually and always following the same movements of course).

Hey, another thing that no one mentioned yet is that if the chord is no the same shape type (in CAGED system) it may worth to change the fingering of the open chord.
Example: Suppose you normally use fingers index,middle,ring to make a open A. If the sequence of the chord is A and then a Bm it worths to use fingers middle,ring,pinky for A chord. Then when moving to second fret you only have to slide your things and add the bar with index finger.  This is even more visible when going the other way around: from barre chord to open chord.

Gus, I am embarrassed I didn't think of that. Duh. Thanks! In fact, that's the chord change I am working on! Thanks!

Also in general with changing chord shapes, you always wanna keep the fingers on the string if those fingers are just shifting horizontally (on one string). Just slide the finger onto new position. It is much easier then to raise it and fret it again.
