Organizational change management at Bombardier Airlines

Introduction

Sometimes there is a need to change because the business's managers redefine the relevant environment for business. It is not only just changes in the external environment that can create the need to change what is done in the business. Redefining their environment, and the need to make changes compatible with the new environment, will become increasingly important for the many Australian businesses intending to move into international markets and become globally competitive. Auto Sales, must change and adapt as their customers and market change and as their competitors evolve. In my view leadership is the essence of successful change.

This paper will attempt to apply concepts from the course, to analyze a significant change initiative that have been observed, have been affected by or have had a hand in implementing in Bombardiers Airline. The paper will attempt to give special relevance to an analysis of the Change Strategy, a description of the change implementation strategy, the model of change employed, an elaboration of how the change was structured and sequenced. A discussion on how political support for the change was obtained and how successful those efforts were, an explanation of what the change leaders did to prevent or minimize resistance to change what was the nature of the resistance, and how did the leaders deal with the resistance. In addition, the paper will also describe how momentum for the change was built and sustained; as well as an elaboration of how the monitoring mechanisms were used and how information from the monitoring was used or not used. In the case of my former employer, a significant degree of instability was created when the organization chose to shift its strategy. This paper is, in essence, a discussion of how the findings that I came across when the change management strategy was implemented (Carole, 1983, pp.64-68).
