Raffaelli (2017): Organizational Behaviour Reading: Leading Organizational Change
● It is about the key choices leaders must make when managing a change and the common traps
that can cause a change effort to fail
● Organized in four sections:
○ Diagnosis: why is change needed?
■ Performance gaps: difference between expected and actual performance
■ Opportunity gaps: potential future problems or missed value creating
opportunities the organization will face if it does not act today
○ Design: what sort of change is called for?
■ Four critical elements of change design and implementation (SORT)
● 1. Scope of change
○ Radical vs Incremental
■ Radical change: affect nearly all aspects of the
organization
■ Incremental: small adjustments to the existing
organizational systems
● 2. Origin of change
○ Top down vs bottom up
■ Top down: clear directives, goals, communication
plans. Requires buy in from the management team
■ Bottom up: emerges from within the organization
and can look quite different across multiple
businesses units depending on how it gets started
● Type of change based on scope and origin decisions
○ Delivery: how can change best be implemented? Who will most likely be affected?
What skills and support do leaders need as they manage the process?
■ 3. Rollout of change
3
, ● Systemwide vs localized
○ Systemwide changes are rolled out across multiple units or
subunits simultaneously
○ Localized change: implementing the change in specific units
of the organization one by one until it reaches all areas
■ 4. Timing of change
● Fast vs slow
○ Fast changes implemented within a finite period of time
○ Slow changes are implemented over an extended period or
may go on indefinitely
■ Implementation
● Kotter eight step model
■ Getting others on board
○ Evaluation: how can the impact of the change be assessed and measured?
○ Stakeholder map
