Supporting Change within Organisations....

rhollas's picture

Hi All,

I am currently studying for my CiLDP (It replaced the CTP) and need to complete an asessment on Supporting Change within Organisations.

I would be interested in your views and opinions that will help me in providing a robust answer to some of the following sections:

Why do organisations actually need to change?

How does change impact on an organisations business?

What sort of behaviours do people demonstrate when going through change?

I thought it woud be interesting to get the HR / L&D profesionals views on this.

I really appreciate your input and opinions.

Kind Regards & Thanks

Ryan

Supporting Change within Organisations

Hi Ryan

This is a massive area - indeed there are masters degrees looking just at this material. I will give you some of my views on these questions:

Why do organisations actually need to change? - because their customers, the technology and environment are changing - and lets be honest the market for arga black or coal buckets is much less than it was 100 years ago - it is all about business survival at some stage.

How does change impact on an organisations business? - how long is a piece of string - it depends if the change is wanted in the org, by who and how this is communicated and managed. many changes are not noticed - generally only the badly managed ones are remembered!

What sort of behaviours do people demonstrate when going through change? - again - I could list all of the human emotions here as they may all be applicable depending on the change, the impact on the individuals, what they thought of the "old way" - not all change is negative!

 

I am sure others will add their views here - what are yours? you should perhaps put a stake in the ground first ;)
