...Edexcel Level 7EDSMLASSESSMENT ACTIVITY | | Unit Name: | STRATEGIC CHANGE MANAGEMENT | Unit Number: | 03 | Credits: | 10 | Assessor: | Prof. Krishna Mohan .M | Internal Verifier: | | Aim: Strategic change impacts on the human resources structure of the organization and this often means a restructuring of the workforce or changes in working practices. Almost inevitably, change will generate resistance from some, particularly those who feel that the change will have no positive benefits for them. Other people may resist change simply because they prefer status quo. Organizations need to ensure that they have strategies in place to manage resistance to change and this should be part of the overall model that they adopt for managing the change. Once in place, progress towards change will need to be monitored. Strategic change management is most effective when an organization actively seeks the participation of all relevant stakeholders. A change management strategy will be effective only if it has the support of all stakeholders. If they are to have a sense of ownership, stakeholders need to have the opportunity to contribute to the development of the change strategy. Learners will develop an understanding of the models of strategic change and the role that stakeholders play in this process. They will then examine the need for change in a selected organization and plan the implementation of a model for change. Summary of learning outcomes To achieve this...

...The far-reaching implications of a new revenue model Highlights Management should evaluate existing business practices under the new model, including how product or service offerings are bundled and priced, and begin assessing the need to negotiate revised contract terms. Industry-specific accounting guidance will be eliminated under the new model and “industry practice” will need to be re-evaluated. Estimates that are required to apply the new model will often require the use of greater judgment and may necessitate process or system changes. Companies should begin assessing the impact of the changes and the adequacy of their resources, systems, and processes to address the new requirements. on the future of revenue recognition Revenue, or the “top line,” is one of the most closely-monitored measures in financial statements. However, the accounting rules for revenue can be difficult to decipher. US revenue guidance today is a tangled web of special rules and exceptions created to address unique transactions, industries, and business models. The FASB and IASB are in the process of replacing this labyrinth of revenue guidance with a new global accounting standard that will apply a single set of principles to all revenue transactions, regardless of industry. Their proposed standard, issued in June 2010, received extensive feedback, which the boards have discussed at length during the first half of 2011. Now that they’ve completed their initial redeliberations and decided to...

...transformative change at an unprecedented pace. Strategic planning has become a major discussion point among CIOs, CTOs, CMIOs, and IT Directors. Whether it is implementing enterprise-wide electronic health record (EHR) systems, working toward compliance with the “meaningful use” EHR Incentive Program, enabling patients’ involvement through PHRs, transitioning to ICD-10, establishing insurance exchanges, becoming an accountable care organization, or even deploying a medical home, healthcare executives are confronted with a confluence of high-priority initiatives. It is imperative to view health IT strategically from an IT management perspective (Tan). Based on developing and institutionalizing health information and health IT strategic planning for large-scale integrated healthcare organizations, lessons incorporated from this can be vital. Following these practices will equip the CIO, CTO, and CMIO to not only develop a Health Information and HIT Strategic Plan, but provide clarity on operationalizing the plan and managing information and IT strategically within their organization as well. Align with Corporate Plans for strategic intent, context, and line of sight. Consider mission, vision, core values, business principles, strategic goals and objectives, strategic direction, strategic initiatives, and outcomes-based performance measures—all elements of a robust strategic planning framework (Tan).
