MG627 Leading and Managing Change - Buckinghamshire New UniversityAssignment task

CONTEXT

"Organisational change is a constant in many organisations, driven by a number of different forces including customers, markets and technology. Yet research shows that most change initiatives fail to get their intended outcomes and may even limit an organisation's potential and its people.
