Organizational transformation
involves the fundamental changers on how business going to conduct. The need of
business transformation occurred due to the market changers in externally such
as out dated products and services, difficulties in funding, market competition
and due to new rules and regulations (Wherrett, 2021). This may be
advantaged in order to increase revenue and market share, to improve customer’s
satisfaction and to reduce the cost.
However, transformation is more
challenging in different reasons. Mainly when start with key changers in the
business system most of times future is unknown and is determined through trial
and errors as new information is gathered. It is so hard to manage transformation
with predetermined, time bound and right project plan. When changing with the
system it is impossible to emerge with the actual change process. So that
executives, managers, and front line workers must work in the unknown that
scary, unpredictable working environment where stress mind (McKeown &
Philip, 2003).
Transformations affect as future organization is so radically differ than current
system that culture and people much change to implement it successfully. that
highlights new mindsets and behaviors need to be change. Unfortunately, it
resulted to change positions and some people may have to left their jobs. But
without that internally change of culture and mind sets of employees, the
external implantation of new structure, operations, systems and technology may
not have achieved the expected levels (McKeown & Philip, 2003). For an example,
most of large it companies doing IT implementations and do not supports to indented
goals and objectives because not suitable knowledge and attitudes not available
to succeed.
Transformation
impacts on employees so personally, so support and training and developments
may help to make the strategy of transformation to ab better. Employee
resistance is always in direct proportion to the degree which people are kept
in the dark and out of process of changing (Gower, 2013). So employee
engagement will be advantage towards the success of transformation. Provide the
mindset for real requirement of transformation and give the opportunity to
create changes to improve their work. And before implementation get the
employee groups involved to ensure the feasibility of what it can handle and it
will reduce the resistance. These strategies to support the organizational
change efforts. Employees not become reluctant to provide their commitment for the
new initiative.

Knowing which type of change your organization is undergoing is critical to your success. Three types exist, and each requires different change strategies, plans, and degrees of employee engagement. The three types of change occurring in organizations today are (1) developmental, (2) transitional, and (3) transformational. Anderson, D. and Anderson, L.A. (2020)
ReplyDeleteIt's difficult enough for employees to endure a structural reorganization and shifting roles, but asking people to learn a fundamentally new way of working too can be too much. For this reason, we must pay close attention to change management throughout an agile transformation, and be conscious of how much is changing all at once.
ReplyDeleteIn my point of view working on many Agile transformations across the world, I have noticed a few patterns that organizations have employed to better equip themselves to handle the change associated with an agile transformation:
transformation impacts people so personally, you must get them involved in it to garner their support; and the earlier in the process of formulating your transformation strategy the better! Employee resistance is always in direct proportion to the degree to which people are kept in the dark and out of the change process. Here are some options for employee engagement.
ReplyDeleteGet staff engaged in building your case for change and determining the vision for the new state. Consider using large group meeting technologies, which can involve hundreds of people simultaneously in short periods of time.
Knowing which type of change in an organization is undergoing is critical to the success. A very common reason for failure in transformational change is leaders inadvertently using approaches that do not fit the type of change they are leading.
