Organisational Culture and Change Management

Part- A

Introduction

The change process encompasses all activities aimed at helping the organization to successfully adopt new attitudes, new technologies, and new ways of doing business. Effective management of change allows the transformation of the strategy, processes, technology, and people to reorient the organization to achieve their goals, maximize their performance, and ensure continuous improvement in an ever changing business environment. A change process occurs very efficiently if everyone is committed to it. Meanwhile, for people to commit, they cannot be "run over" by the process, as something far away from it, because they are not. In truth, change occurs through people.

"Life is dark when no impulse and all urge is blind when there is knowledge and all knowledge is useless when there is no work and all work is routine if there is no change"

The word change has become familiar in the most diverse organizations and has become a protagonist of business activity. Today, the paradigm seems to be "who does not adapt to change will die in the way." There is a consensus that change is a reality that affects strongly, in fact the only thing solid to hold which is possible, it is certain that whatever happens today, has already changed the next day. The general atmosphere that surrounds the organization is in continuous movement and is dynamic, requiring a high capacity to adapt to survive. It must deal with an unstable environment of constant change. Thus, to survive and compete we have to adapt to change quickly and effectively. The changes you make will affect to some extent the relations of power, stability, and ...
