...Organizational Change Plan – Part II Shana S. White Creating Change within Organizations/HCS/587 December 10, 2012 Charles Silveri Organizational Change Plan – Part II According to Managementstudyguide.com (2008-2012), implementing change is “the manner in which an organization should develop, utilize, and amalgamate organizational structure, control systems, and culture to follow strategies that lead to competitive advantage and a better performance.” (para. 1). Within an organization, change is implemented in phases. These phases includes the “disbursement of abundant resources to strategy-essential activities, creating strategy-encouraging policies, employing best policies and programs for constant improvement, linking reward structure to accomplishment of results, and making use of strategic leadership” (Managementstudyguide.com, 2008-2012). This means that the process of implementing change within an organization does take a management team who is willing to follow the correct protocol to ensure implementation was successful. There are checkpoints which are designed for checking to make sure the process of change was implemented correctly. So, making sure that mild stones are meet within the implementation process does evaluate the process and ensure that the organization is on the right track so the change can be sustained over an extensive period of time (Cliff Notes, 2012).

...Organizational Change Plan Part II Mia A. Lowe HCS/587 December 2, 2013 Dr. Sonnia Oliva Organizational Change Plan Part II Moving, which is the implementation phase is the second phase in Kurt Lewin’s theory. During this phase, organizations begin to implement changes and the behaviors of the employees start to change (Spector, 2010). According to Lewin (2010), “Those new behaviors, must become permanent, for at least a desired period of time” (p. 29). The stakeholder’s agreement to implement a Telemedicine Intensive Care Unit (tele-ICU) in the Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) becomes operational. The second part of this Organizational Change Plan focuses on strategies for implementing a tele-ICU in the MICU. The chief medical director assigns a project manager to the project to oversee the implementation of the tele-ICU. The project manager schedules large weekly meetings with the stakeholders to ensure everyone is completing their assigned tasks. The project manager has an issues log containing issues categorized by subject, owner, and pending due date or completed date. The purpose of the issues log is to track and resolve issues as identified to keep the project moving forward. If the stakeholders in the meeting cannot resolve the issues, the project manager reviews the issues with the chief medical director for resolution. In addition, the project manager schedules small group meeting with different departments. The small groups report...

...Investment Services Intersect Investment Services (IIS) is a financial services industry company which has been struggling to survive in a market which has been in constant state of flux, never certain and always chaotic (University of Phoenix, 2008). IIS has “barely managed to survive, but resisted making a drastic, strategic shift” (University of Phoenix, 2008, p. 1). The changed market conditions have led to the changed vision of IIS which is: “Provide a broad set of products and services to consumer and small business customers using a model of customer intimacy that will build long-term relationships based on trust and value to the customer” (University of Phoenix, 2008, p. 1). This new vision has not been realized yet and therefore, the Executive Vice President of Marketing and Sales has been released of his duties and was replaced by Janet Angelo as new Executive VP of Marketing and Sales. A number of reasons contribute to the fact that why the transformation of IIS was not successful and these reasons are (1) no clear communication about how the change should take place, (2) no explaining and reinforcing on why the change should take place, (3) resistance to the change of key personnel, and (4) the goals to achieve were not aligned with the new strategy. No clear communication has been identified by Kreitner and Kinicki (2004) as one of the main reasons why organizational change initiatives fail. The communication of organizational change and no explaining and reinforcing on...

...Organizational Structure Presentation Action Plan, Part II Audience and Action Plan, Part I Our team has chosen for our audience the board of directors of the organization. To give just a few of our rationale in this choice are that, it is a very viable business in that the market for long term care is growing at an over average rate. According to Lewis (2013), “The Bureau of Labor Statistics points out that the health-care industry will be one of the fastest-growing industries in the United States in the period from 2008 to 2018, with wage and salary jobs growing at a rate of 22 percent. One primary reason for this rapid growth will be the increased number of individuals entering the elderly population” (Industry Growth). Lewis further notes that The National Care Planning Council states nursing homes provide cost effective ways for patient treatment and care. Besides benefit for the community, the organization will benefit from this population growth financially whiles providing a much needed worthy cause. The addiction of this new facility would also bring in more funders, grants, supporters and advocates to help fund and assist the organization to better service the community.

...A Harvard university psychologist Ellen langer argues that we are mostly unaware of the assumptions that underlie our thinking and behaviour.as a result our behaviour for most part is largely automatic. We tend to react to situations unthinkingly; it is as if our behaviour is mindless. She suggests 3 manifestations of mindlessness: 1) we tend to get trapped by the categories we create. When we construct a mental model of the world around us, we create categories and make distinctions b/w them. 2) as the experiment above indicates, automatic behaviour is another reflection of mindlessness. Habit or any repetitive behaviour is more likely to lead to mindlessness. 3) actions from a single perspective is a reflection of mindlessness. What are the roots of mindlessness? 1- whenever we perform any task repeatedly, we become expert at it. In psychological terms we overlearn the task. 2- we tend to form a mindset when we first encounter something. Subsequently we have a tendency to cling to it when we reencounter the same thing. Langer calls this premature cognitive commitment. 3- when we believe that the resources we require are limited, we are more likely to be trapped by the categories that we create. 4- we may think of time as a linear entity when in fact under some conditions it may make more sense to think of it as a cyclical entity. 5- both in education and at work we tend to be outcome oriented. We are focused on results rather than the processfor achieving...

...Project Part 1 Task 1: Risk Management Plan EC-Council University Introduction A risk management plan (RMP) is important to the DLIS and DLA because it will help us to identify and mitigate IT risks before they become catastrophic issues. This RMP will outline the objectives of the DLIS, the risks associated with the DLIS IT infrastructure, quantify these risks, develop a response plan to these risks by identifying roles and responsibilities of individuals, and control these risks. Controlling the risks that have been identified will happen in one of two methods: establish a reserve by allocating risk contingencies for known risks or through the continuous monitoring established as part of this plan. Outline for RMP 1) Identify the objectives of the DLIS a) Organizational financial goals b) Organizational risk acceptance levels c) Organizational business goals 2) Identify risks d) Identify potential risks to the DLIS infrastructure e) Review previous RMP’s for identified risks and their priority levels 3) Develop a Response Plan f) Define each risk, to include probability and potential negative impact g) Identify roles and responsibilities of individuals and organizations to mitigate risks 4) Quantify Each Risk Identified h) Identify high cost objectives i) Identify high cost mitigation techniques j) Identify high loss critical infrastructure 5) Control Risk k) Establish...

Kibera (1996) defines management as a set of activities directed at the efficient and effective utilization of resources in pursuit of one or more objectives. A manager is a person responsible for directing the efforts aimed at helping the organization achieve its goals. Managerial performance is the measure of how efficient and effective a manager is i.e. how well he/she determines and achieves appropriate objectives.
