Background

Details

How organizations approach problems is often mapped to the solutions it applies. All too often, however, organizations tend to rush through problem-solving, overlook relationships between contributing factors, and fail to test assumptions thereby implementing an ineffective fix to Systems Thinking. To better understand "change" in organizations, it is important to conceptualize factors that may influence peoples' behaviors within an organization, as well as understand why such factors may affect peoples' actions, and reactions, to change.

Behavior is conditioned by sharing key information about what change is going to happen, clearly articulating the role of each individual in the change process, and providing the resources and support to effect the desired change. It is also conditioned by the prevailing norms - people know what is expected of them, what is acceptable, and what is not acceptable. There is no such thing as over-communicating when asking an organization to change. To this point, most successful executives who have led successful change management efforts have expressed the need for over-communicating during a change experience. Likewise, however, no organization exists in which employees are completely happy with the communication processes. In other words, communication is among one of the most challenging issues within an organization and thus it emerges as one of the most frequently heard employee complaints, especially when organizational change is underway.

Consider the above-noted points in connection to the Alonzo's (2012) article below in your responses to this discussion.
