Unexpected changes may be disruptive, and leadership may encounter resistance. To manage technology changes the first step is to understand technology dynamics, and resistance it generates. According to Regan and O’Conner (2002), managing organizational changes requires understanding the variables and their interdependencies; creating a climate for learning; recognizing new power distributions and handling complexity, ambiguity, and uncertainty. Of course, technology changes take a toll on the employee’s morale and managerial time and emotion. Sometimes plans are abandoned because of strong employee resistance or because the managers feel unprepared or unable to implement the changes successfully. (Chapter 11.2.2 Technology Brings Change).
e. Communication plans
First in order for the goals and objectives of the communications plans to succeed, It is very important that staff involved in this plan are aware of the leaderships support and direction. In addition, leader’s needed to speak positively about the project, and the process changes involved the staff should expect. Management needs to speak honestly and listen to all levels of the organization. Secondly, if the organization and its leadership did not adhere to changes proposed by staff involved, resistance is likely to occur. However, if staff involved were consulted, participant’s acceptance is more likely. Finally, it is important to
Firstly, planning stage should discover what new technologies each employees of the organization utilizes as a part of their IT sectors. A quick survey should be possible to gather the information about what technology devices which best suits them and give them the most advantage. Processes that are less useful can be dropped or enhanced for efficiency.
This paper looks into Synergic solutions Inc., a company that resells assembled computers. The Organizational simulation will look into the three theories of change management. Using the three theories, the paper will analyse any cross-cultural issues that come with change. The paper will look at three internal and external drivers that have propelled change in the organization. It will also look into any factors that the head will need to look at in order to ensure change in the organization. Resistance is one of the aftermaths of implementing change.

Some many organizational change efforts fail to reach their intention, but the high-ranking sponsors often blame the disappointment on the employees and manager struggle to change at times. They really don’t know how difficult it is to lead and implement change effectively (Robbins, 2011). A good change does require good people skills. Employees resist change because employees can be very unsure about the loss of status or job security within the organization. This would mean the employees and there manager as well as their peers will resist technological changes. The employees will also endure fear of failure that could cause employees to doubt their ability to do the job/ or their duty. Those type of change employees are resisting because the employees are too worried about learning the new requirements. Peer pressure can be endured as well for employees when the employees start to resist change to protect their co-worker, and so will the manager to protect their work group. The human resources roles are planning and implementation, planning would be evaluation of
In order to move with the times, the organisation may introduce new equipment or software. Some staff may see this as a positive step that moves the business forward, but some employees may feel anxious about the change, how much it is costing the business and whether it is actually going to improve their role or create more problems.
Implementation is the act of providing a practical means (step-by-step) for goal accomplishment. (GCU, 2011). Successful implementation plan elements include the analysis of the present situation of the organization so that determination of the changes to be done within the organization can be made without any obstacle in the flow of the organization (Damschtoder et al., 2009). The second and the important element of the successful implementation plan is verifying the key mission of the organization, so that the planned implementation can be adjusted and carried out effectively. (Damschtoder et al., 2009).There are five elements involved in the implementation plan, there elements include; stakeholders, work plan, resources and budget, quality control and
In order to implement a change, and have it be successful, it is necessary to have a plan. The steps that will be used to implement the change project is to address the initial issue, create a new idea, gather credible information to support the new idea,
Our goal is to make 3D worlds more realistic and immersive with the 3D MA platform. The 3D MA platform is designed to be compatible with VR equipment, such as the CAVE™ or head-mounted displays (HMD), turning virtual worlds into powerful real-life experiences. Our applications and domains described will be based with the augmentation which can take on a number of different forms. In all our applications the augmented reality presented to the user will enhances that person's performance in and perception of the virtual world. Our ultimate goal is to create a system such that the user cannot tell the difference between the real world and the virtual augmentation of it.

The Technology Planning Template will also server a planning document for submitting all current fiscal year projects, and procurements request during our planning meetings.
Week 3, the lecture on Managing Change describes organizational changes that occur when a company makes a shift from its current state to some preferred future state. Managing organizational change is the process of planning and implementing change in organizations in such a way as to decrease employee resistance and cost to the organization while concurrently expanding the effectiveness of the change effort. Today's business environment requires companies to undergo changes almost constantly if they are to remain competitive. Students of organizational change identify areas of change in order to analyze them. A manager trying to implement a change, no matter how small, should expect to encounter some resistance from within the organization.
The purpose of this paper is to discuss organizational change and the management of that change. I will talk about the different drivers of change, the factors a leader needs to weigh to implement change effectively, the various resistances a leader may encounter while trying to implement change, and how various leadership styles will effect the realization of change. I will also discuss the knowledge I have gained through the completion of this assignment and how I think it might affect the way I manage change in my workplace.
Technology is advancing continuously and is a focal point for Army Senior leaders. They have made the contentious decision to upgrade the network. Organizations such as the 93d Signal Brigade has a vital role in completing the upgrade. However, employees have their own feelings about the change. Employees fear the impact and are actively resisting against the changes. It is important for leaders to anticipate and respond to employee concerns and feelings. Planning and anticipating change include a detailed reaction analysis. Try to identify the kinds of reactions and questions that employees will have, and prepare responses. Remember that the success of any change rests with the ability of the leaders to address both the emotional and

With a fluctuating economy and constant technological advancements, organizations are expected to adapt in order to survive. When a business is posed with an issue or change, it must develop new business and strategy structures and implements those developments throughout the entire company. Communication, education and participation are all required for a change model to be successful. Though change and adaptation may be needed to better the company, with implementation of change comes resistance. Most companies face resistance on an organizational and individual level during a transition. However, it is how the company is able to overcome
For most, resistance to change inevitable, for some it is their personality and others it is fear of the unknown. Organizational structure may change through downsizing, outsourcing, acquisitions, or mergers. In this paper, I will be examining resistance to change during a merger and how to manage this type of stressful and many times unclear change in an organization. There are three key strategies for managing resistance to change; communication, participation, and empathy and support. Throughout this paper I will discuss the three strategies above as well as some other contributing factors to change in an organization.
Changing situations throughout the world affect all organizations in business today. Therefore, most organizations acknowledge the need to experience change and transformation in order to survive. The key challenges companies face are due to the advancements in technology, the social environment caused by globalization, the pace of competition, and the demands regarding customer expectations. It is difficult to overcome the obstacles involved with change despite all the articles, books, and publications devoted to the topic. People are naturally resistant to fundamental changes and often intimidated by the process; the old traditional patterns and methods are no longer effective.
Resistance to change is one of the biggest barriers that organizations face in their efforts to implement organizational change. This greatly hampers the uptake of new technologies, new ways of doing work and even progress of organizations. Reviewing on this, the British Journal of
