C721 Task 1 – Change Management

Western Governors University

C721 T1: Change Management

Name:

Student ID:

Date:

A. Using either the contingency model or the organizational life cycle model, discuss the

need for change for the company in the scenario.

In regard to the organizational life cycle model, the company in the scenario is in the

second stage. While the company in the scenario has a strong and strategic company direction,

the company suffers from a lack of autonomy brought on by the stage two crisis of the

organizational life cycle model due to the fact that the company is structured in a manner of

top-down hierarchical leadership. Stage two is known as the growth/survival stage, and

autonomy is a critical component to employ for a company to make it through to stage three.

Because of the structure of the company in the scenario, the company's employees feel

trapped by the company's rigid and outdated way of doing things. To ensure the company

continues to grow and survive in such a competitive labor market, the company must loosen

some of its grasp on control and decision-making responsibility and allow both the lower-level

managers and employees to contribute. Employees will feel more empowered to play a strong

role in the company if the company delegates and loosens restrictions. This will ultimately result

in more balanced control and decision-making across the whole of the company.

B. Describe the differences between a learning organization and a traditional organization.

role in the company if the company delegates and loosens restrictions. This will ultimately result

in more balanced control and decision-making across the whole of the company.

B. Describe the differences between a learning organization and a traditional organization.

Compared to a traditional organization, a learning organization is different in that a

learning organization focuses on "big picture" ideas, in other words, long-term ideas, and

these organizations take a special effort to learn and grow from lessons learned in the past.

Learning organizations encourage their members to think of new and creative ways of doing

things that will ensure the organization continues to adapt, evolve, and thrive in today's

competitive labor market. In a learning organization, as employees try different roles and teams

change, leadership openly and happily adjusts to support this knowledge and innovation that's

shared across the organization.

Compared to a learning organization, there is much more structure and

predictability present within a traditional organization. In a traditional organization, well-

defined roles and responsibilities are established and designed to ensure the status quo is

maintained and innovative ideas are shot down. Nonflexible processes and a rigid culture are

present in a traditional organization. Employees lack encouragement from the organization to

take risks and make decisions. In a traditional organization, for a decision to be approved, it must

be moved up to the very top of the hierarchical command chain. This, in turn, results in a

slowdown of suggested resolutions. In today's competitive labor market, these slowdowns are

detrimental as quickly deciding and implementing resolutions is of immense vitality in ensuring

a company's continued growth and survival.
