1. Supporting Change within Organisations

   Hi Ryan

   This is a massive area – indeed there are masters degrees looking just at this material. I will give you some of my views on these questions:

   Why do organisations actually need to change? – because their customers, the technology and environment are changing – and lets be honest the market for arga black or coal buckets is much less than it was 100 years ago – it is all about business survival at some stage.

   How does change impact on an organisations business? – how long is a piece of string – it depends if the change is wanted in the org, by who and how this is communicated and managed. many changes are not noticed – generally only the badly managed ones are remembered!

   What sort of behaviours do people demonstrate when going through change? – again – I could list all of the human emotions here as they may all be applicable depending on the change, the impact on the individuals, what they thought of the "old way" – not all change is negative!

    

   I am sure others will add their views here – what are yours? you should perhaps put a stake in the ground first 😉
