Change Management Plan Paper
Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better. - King Whitney Jr.
In order for all organizations to survive they must adapt to their surroundings. Individuals term this saying as the ‘survival of the fittest’. Crys Tel is a telecommunication company with 2500 employees and annual revenue of 200 million. Its services include the production of cables, network development, and wireless solutions. As the telecommunication advance, so must Crys Tel who is now force to adapt both internally and externally by building a culture for sustaining change. In this paper, I will identify the major implications and human behavior of change at Crys Tel. Selecting the right change model will help develop a plan to address human variables, potential resistance to change, and contingency strategies for this resistance. The appropriate leadership style to implement change will be selected. I will also recommend management and leadership practices that will contribute to the success of change. I will recommend measures to monitor progress of these changes and analyze three leaderships that Crys Tel could face within 5 to 10 years.
The telecommunication is continuously changing and Crys Tel needs to keep in pace to ensure it success. To keep up with the market demands Crys Tel plans to increase its market product offering in the market by implementing emerging telecommunications such as cooper connectivity, code division multiple access, and other real-time solutions in a bid.
