1.1 Organizational Change

After briefly describing an organizational change you have experienced, identify and discuss:

· Environmental forces such as changing demographics, diversity, technology, political and/or economic factors that drove the need for change

· Type of change that occurred (tuning, redirecting, adapting or overhauling)

· The outcome – why did or didn’t the change achieved intended results.
