The organization of Cisco has not been able to inspire its employees which has caused the slowdown of innovation within the company. Many of the competitors have left the company behind, and a change in management is due. The company has to find ways to inspire its employees, take innovation cues from diverse teams, and create a synergy among the various teams, and departments. The strategy to succeed in this endeavor is through intervention strategies, increasing social bonding, instilling company vision, and effectively inspiring individuals with the promise of organizational development within the company.
The reason for choosing Cisco is because the company was the spearhead of innovation in computer hardware. The company did many technological wonders in the area of networking especially but lately, they’ve slowed down to a halt, and the company is being overshadowed by its competitors. The organization specialized in networking, security, collaboration, data center, and IoT devices. The company still has a lot of talented employees but the need for a change in management is due because they aren’t utilizing their workforce. A change in management and their strategies will result in the removal of the void of innovation.
The change is needed because the company has to foster meaningful developmental changes to its style of management (Bond & Blevins, 2020).
The company employs a matrix structure to its style of function, which is why its facing challenges in its current form is necessary (Tkachev, 2018). The need for gradual change is necessary for the company of Cisco (French & Bell, 1995).
The implementation of motivating workers to achieve organizational goals with the promise of professional development is the way for the employees to be fully motivated (Moochhala & Bhopal, 2020). The implementation of the first step can take three months to introduce various developmental plans. The implementation of this step can take various steps, such as building greater ownership of organizational staff, running parallel to community norms, and being clear of change (Hodges, 2016). The detailed steps will take time for a year to fully integrate into the company
Applicable Organizational Behavior Concepts
The conflict of managers, and leaders in the motivation of employees related to diverse teams within the departments (Waddell, et al., 2019). The intervention techniques that apply to the organization is the change strategies, company culture in bringing gradual change, having a clear vision of change as well as taking case studies, and interviews from people within the organization to bring real change. The proposed strategy will work because it addresses all the problems that the company faces from the inside of its core, and with the implementation of all the strategic frameworks, the company will be back on its feet once again.
