1. Describe one tactical and one strategic intervention that you believe to be critical to managing the implementation of organizational or systemic change. Why are these interventions important to consider when implementing change?
But those who speak from experience claim that some or other things will invariably go wrong. This is why research scholars encourage avoiding "success orientation" -- they recommend adopting a pessimistic approach when planning; this they term as the "failure-avoidance" strategy of management. This strategy prioritizes the possibility of failure and erring, attempting to decrease such likelihoods, and insuring consistent and efficient performance even when faced with disturbance (Sonenshein, 2014).
(GAO, 2008) These criteria are stated to "inform many other elements of the positions, including roles and responsibilities, job qualifications, reporting relationships, and decision-making structure and processes." (Dejewski, 2007) Three types of COO/CMO positions were identified as follows: (1) the existing deputy position could carry out the integration and business transformation role. This type of COO/CMO might be appropriate in a relatively stable or small organization; (2) a senior-level executive who reports to
Organizational Change The Burke-Litwin Model contains twelve organizational variables. Each of these variables is interconnected, so that changes in one variable will affect the others. Also built into the model is the idea that change can occur as the result of a concerted effort to change multiple variables. Ideally, an organizational change program will be strongest when all of the different variables are aligned in the direction of the desired change.

The theory sees human organizational behaviors and conceptions culturally bound, rather than natural, unlike advocates of systems theory. Systems theory has been more influenced by sociology and linguistics than the natural sciences. Analyzing symbolic interpretations may be more useful in organizations serving diverse populations: if a public health organization wants to alleviate the prevalence of diabetes in an area, it is not enough to more effectively disseminate information through the
Chaos theory states that change represents a contemporary corporate model which is best suited to the advanced corporations of the current era. The theory understands the fact that change is unavoidable, but that forecasting its trajectory and time is hard (Taneja, 2013). Mergers, acquisitions, governmental takeovers and liquidations, which are ever more frequently observed, all support chaos theory premises. Akin to chemistry, organizational change may be classified as organic (flowing
Organizational Development Every organization yearns to undergo what is commonly referred to as organizational development, however, not many organizations are in full comprehension of what organizational development (OD) really means and how it can be achieved in an organization. According to Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2016) the OD is an area of research, theory and practice which aims solely at expanding the effectiveness as well as knowledge of people to be
