Change Management

• 1.  Read the article titled “10 Principles of Change Management” at http://www.strategy-business.com/media/file/resilience-04-15-04-rebrand.pdf. In  the article, the authors advocated for diagnosing an organization’s  culture (i.e., 8. Address culture explicitly), often considered the most  difficult aspect to evaluate when diagnosing organizations. Speculate  on at least two (2) challenges that business leaders might face when  diagnosing organizational culture during substantial business transition  within a company. Propose key strategies to mitigate the challenges in  question and support your response.
• From the article, select one (1) principle that you mostly agree  with and examine its fundamental strengths and weaknesses. Include one  (1) example or scenario in which you could apply the chosen principle to  support your response.

From  the article, select one (1) principle that you mostly agree with and  examine its fundamental strengths and weaknesses. Include one (1)  example or scenario in which you could apply the chosen principle to  support your response. 

All  the principles plays a big role in the change management process;  however, I most agree with "Prepare for the unexpected". During change  management process, their may be flaws and something in the process that  can lead to a show stopper. So, organization need to have plans A, B, C  fall back to in order to achieve the goal. Also, throughout the change  process, the author stated that the stages should be evaluated and make  adjustment as necessary. I do agree with this statement. Strenght from  this principle is the continuous evaluation to make sure all details are  covered and everyone is in synch to the plan. The weakness may be the  rate at which people respond to the level of needed effort. For example,  as mentioned earlier, people that has been conducting business in a  certain way for 30 years, now being told to change gear, may be  reluctant to change and slow in their participation in the process. So  the sense of purpose and pro--activeness by this principle in question  may be defeated.
