For many companies, change is a constant thing. A company that can smoothly navigate organization change is one that is more nimble and better able to meet market demands for products. In this assignment, you will develop a change management plan that is similar to what a business today might use to implement change.
Assume you are the supervisor of a product development team that designs cell phone applications for your company's newest cell phone. Unfortunately, this model has not been performing well in the market and your company has decided to discontinue production.
Your team is being asked to discontinue their current operations and move to the design and development of applications for a new smart phone. This will require new skills and experience that some of your team members do not possess. In addition, management has asked for a shortened timeline meaning your team will have to put in considerable overtime hours.
You are to develop a change management plan for leading your team through these changes, including reorganization. You will review your plan with your boss.
