Description

Academicians have often stated that bringing change initiatives to an organization will always have a disappointing rate of being successful. This statement can be true and false at the same time. This is because the implementation of a change programme will depend on an individual organization, and the rate of successfulness will be based on how strategies of implementation have been crafted. Often at times, when organization want to bring change initiatives to their operations, some employees if not all will be opposed to these changes bringing what is called resistance to change. It is important for organizations that want to implement change programmes to be aware that change management requires involvement and consultations with the particular people who will be affected by the new intended changes. By acknowledging that change management should be a clearly planned, consulted and involve the concerned parties organizations will eliminate the resistance to change, and the rate of success will be high. This paper will detail in the form of offering guidance to a chief executive officer of a multinational company on how to implement a change programme.
