CHANGE MANAGEMENT

SUMMARY

Not many organizations and businesses recognize that change is inevitable in our constantly changing environment. In a great number of situations change is imposed on companies and organisations. Ideally change ought to be initiated by organizations and businesses to secure the future which in turn gives them the right to market leadership and growth.
Many organizations also go through change processes only to arrive at where they were when they begun. Managing change does not only mean putting a change plan on the table but it also involves making the key decisions that serve as catalyst to achieve the desired changes. It requires commitment to the execution of the planned changes.
Leaders need to accept the inevitability of change, understand the obstacles associated with change and the hard decisions that are required to effect the necessary turn - around. Companies only have two choices – to change or die.
