...Change Management Plan Life in the 21st century is all about change. People face change in some fashion in their personal and professional lives almost on a daily basis. How successful they are in both our personal and professional lives depend a great deal on how easily they can adapt to these changes. Organizations are also susceptible to frequent and oftentimes rapid changes. CrysTel, a telecommunications company, is just such an organization. CrysTel faces both technological and administrative changes regularly due to the telecommunication industry’s rapid and frequent advances. CrysTel employs 2,500 employees and offer products such as data cables, wireless solutions, and network development. (Apollo Group Inc, 2004) Successfully leading and sustaining change within this organization will require a great deal of planning and hard work from all levels of management and leadership. The term “survival of the fittest” (Apollo Group Inc, 2004) is aptly applied to the change process for organizations. Much like in ones personal life, those who are most fit or in this case the most adapt at leading and sustaining change will be the most likely to survive the necessary changes and emerge a stronger more successful organization. CrysTel has taken the first of many important steps required in being able to lead successfully and sustain change within their organization.

Basically companies make changes to improve the work environment and to make sure they stay in business. There are always reasons behind changes.

...Organizational Change Plan III Christian Malone HCS/587-Creating Change within Organizations February 12, 2011 Dr. Margaret Walker Organizational Change Plan III Employees may be one of the hardest stakeholders to agree to change. “Employees resist because they believe the management is mishandling the process” (Bert Spector, 2010, p.). The individuals suffering from the unfair scheduling are ready for this change. They have expressed their unhappiness, and have even limited their availability, making it difficult to have enough staff on hand. By repeatedly emphasizing the importance of employee cooperation and fair scheduling, individuals will believe in the system, and continue to become better so business can remain successful. A work schedule is made to benefit the needs of the business first, and the employee second. A flexible employee allows the company to make schedule changes at the last minute or even pull a double shift if a co-worker calls out. The employees that are not flexible make it difficult to make a schedule to benefit the needs of the business, and he or she is not able to work extra hours. A rotating schedule is the solution to an unfair work schedule. One option a manger has is a rotating schedule, and this will allow each individual to work his or her promised hours. By doing this, he or she does not have to work the same days each week, gives the individual more time to spend with the family or just attend to their personal needs. The advantage...

...Organizational Change Yesenia Acosta NUR 587 Prof. Doria Chege Organizational Change It was brought to the attention of the Shared Governance Committee that the rate of unit acquired pressure ulcers had increased dramatically over the past quarter. The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel defined a pressure ulcer as a localized injury to the skin or the underlying tissue that usually occurs over a bony prominence. A pressure ulcer develops as a result of prolonged pressure to these bony prominences such as the heels and sacrum. They develop once there is a combination of pressure and shear. This pressure is known to cause skin breakdown. In addition to being complex, pressure ulcers are prevalent, deadly, and costly to treat. Rosenberg (2002). One of the strategies used around health care facilities for ulcer prevention is repositioning every 2 hours. It is evidence-based that turning a patient every 2 hours will help prevent pressure ulcers from developing. During one f our monthly SGC meetings we identified this to be a big problem in our unit. As a team we analyzed different methods to correct this problem. We came up with a plan and addressed any possible barriers we would need to consider. In the following paper we will discuss the changes we plan on implementing and how we will address influencing factors for change within our unit. As one of the chairs for...

...Organizational Change Plan - Part III The process of organizational change is often intimidating or overwhelming. The prospect of change is not often received well by those in the organization involved in the areas considered for change. Organizational leaders need to monitor and evaluate the staff and patients throughout the process of the proposed change implementation. The constant monitoring is crucial to the success and obtaining the desired outcomes. Monitoring the process and the changes along the change path enables the leadership to determine the success of the process or the need to a pause to re-evaluate and possibly alter the change. According to Spector (2010), “Effective leaders communicate downward to make sure employees at all levels understand in a clear and consistent way the purpose and direction of the firm” (p. 192). Changing any facet of the health care delivery process is difficult at best; the move toward technology is much harder and more challenging. Gaining the support for the change improves the success of the change by getting staff on board and involved in the change. Involving the staff allows staff to have inputs to the change and modifications to the change process along the path. Effectiveness of the Organizational Change Change effectiveness is measured in various ways. The change to ePrescribing and the overall effectiveness of the change requires a collaboration of effort. . Leadership must review the current procedures for...

...Organizational Change Plan - Part I Deluxe Fernandez HCS 587- Creating Change Within Organizations January 26, 2015 Professor Thomas Sloan Organizational Change Plan - Part I Health care is subject to numerous changes at any given time along with the organizations and their employees. In today's climate, organizations have to be adaptive to changes as it is a requirement to survive, thrive, and succeed (Rafferty et al., 2013). One important aspect for success is to promote job satisfaction. "Job satisfaction is closely related to the performance and quality of work performed by an employee and, consequently, translates into the success of any organization" (Sypniewska, 2014, p. 57, para. 1). Having "lift teams" and equipments for lifting can improve nursing satisfaction. This paper will closely examine why there is a need to propose the "no lift policy". Barriers and influencing factors to change will also be discussed. The influencing factors for readiness will be explored. The theoretical model used for the proposed change will also be discussed. Finally, internal and external resources to support the change will be examined. The Need For The Proposed Change Bedside employees particularly nurses and nursing assistants have higher incidence of back injuries (Weinel, 2008). Such injuries are caused by manual lifting and repositioning patients. For example, in our organization's current ICU department, there are nine nurses on leave due to back or bodily injuries. Lack...

...Riordan Manufacturing Management Change Plan MGT 301 Section I: Change Management Plan Identify the current formal and informal power structures in the organization. How might the power and political structure of the organization affect employee behavior? The formal power structure in the organization consists of the top management staff run by the President & CEO, followed by the Executive Assistant, Senior VP-R&D, and the Chief Operating Officer. The informal power structures would be the employee work force and their ability to generate profits for the company. The power and political organizational structure might affect employee behavior on how strict the company is on its standards and regulations. When the employee is supervised and reviewed on the performance then the employee might feel the responsibility to keep up and do a good work in order to keep the job and generate good reviews. According to Robbins and Judge (2013) organizational structure is defined as how a job tasks which is formally divided, grouped and coordinated. There are six key elements; work specialization, departmentalization, chain of command, span of control, centralization, decentralization, and formalization. Riordan Manufacturing operation is based on the effective bureaucratic structure this standardized processes effective in the ability for all 500 employees to be synchronized at the same level regardless of the hierarchy.

...Organizational Change Plan - Part 1 Lynn Clark Creating Change within Organizations HCS/587 Debra Kent May 06, 2012 Organizational Change Plan - Part 1 Within any organization change occurs on a daily basis. Staff understanding the need for these changes is essential to the success of the change. Changing from paper to paperless patient check-in has become necessary at the Northwest Primary Care Clinic. Patient satisfaction has promoted this change. Having patients checked in and ready to see their providers at their scheduled appointment time has become high priority. Discussed here will be the need for the change, individual and organizational barriers to the change, factors that may influence the change, factors influencing organizational readiness, the theoretical model used, and the internal and external resources available for support of change. Need for the Proposed Change Having patients checked in and ready to see their providers at the scheduled appointment time not only allows providers the time they need to assess and care for the patient, but also leads to increased patient satisfaction (Anderson, Camacho, & Balkrishnan, 2007). Patients expect that once they have gone through the check in process they will be triaged, and see the provider at their scheduled time. If the patient is left in the waiting area for an extended period he may become upset, and believes that his needs are not important to the staff or provider. Patient satisfaction...
