Module 5: Compare and Contrast Essay – Organizational Change Models
Overview
Change is the only constant reality of life and is observed not just in our personal life but also professionally. But do all of us know how to deal with change? No. Managing change and learning to adapt to it takes time, energy, efforts and training and this is the reason why several learned individuals around the globe have come up with properly structured and defined models to manage change. The focus of a change model is on people-how to change people, not things, programs, etc. An individual model for change is necessary for organizational change management to be effective. Therefore, in times of transformation, experts believe that leaders develop a change story that helps all stakeholders understand where the company is headed, why it is changing, and why the change is important. The illustration of the influence model reflects what researchers believe to be the psychology of change management and why effective communication with stakeholders is crucial in the change process.
