The Force Field Analysis Model is one of the most famous in change management. It was originally developed by Kurt Lewin and can be found in attached. Review this model and relate it to an issue in your organization or your associations outside of work. Define how understanding the ?forces for? and the ?forces against? inter-relate.

THIS IS THE ASSIGNMENT TO BE COMPLETED ABOUT BP:

C. Feasibility Analysis
Q1: To determine the likelihood of success implementing the ideas developed in Section B above, you?ll need to conduct a Force Field Analysis. This method lists, discusses, and evaluates the various forces for and against a proposed change. When a change is planned, Force Field Analysis helps you look at the big picture by analyzing all of the forces impacting the change and weighing the pros and cons.

By knowing the pros and cons, you can develop strategies to reduce the impact of the opposing forces and strengthen the supporting forces.
Types of forces to consider
? Available Resources; Traditions; Vested interests; Organizational structures; Relationships; Social or organizational trends; Attitudes of people; Regulations; Personal or group needs; Present or past practices; Institutional policies or norms; Values; Desires; Costs; People capacity; Events / opportunities to initiate or redirect the course of things
The Process
1. Start with a well-defined goal or change to be implemented.
2. Draw a force field diagram (see ex below). At the top of a large sheet of paper write the goal or change to be implemented. Divide the
paper into two columns "Driving Forces? / "Restraining Forces"
3. Brainstorm a list of driving and restraining forces and record them on the chart in the appropriate column.

Essay Instructions: It is up to you to decide which organisation you are going to write about but just let me know before you start writing. Thank you.

Just want to let you know that it is really important the points mentioned below to be covered as they are basic. The points below aren't put in order so the writer can do that himself. Of course there are more points which need to be covered but the writer will see them in the assignment requirements. Very briefly in the main text describe what means \'the resistance of change\'. Do not spend too much time describing the change. Tell the reader what kind of change is that? Is it transformational or strategic or operational or mixture of the last two. If you talk about tranformational talk about what is paradigm as well. Tell the reader what is the change? Evolutionary or revolutionary Then describe forces behind the change: internal and external. Describe strategic drift. Use cultural web as a diagnostic tool. Use Force field Analysis- don\'t just mention it, tell how you deal with it, analyse it. Do not just mention as well whether! the organisation\'s culture facilitates or hinder the change- analyse again. What are the advantages and disadvantages of that. You might put the Culture Web as an appendix in order to save work Tell what is the state of the chosen organisation and how you want to see it in the future.
The third point of the assignment is : Recommend and justify appropriate leadership strategies in the light of these analyses to :
a)overcome the various sources of resistance to the change
b) engage the stakeholders
c) manage the change during the transition stage and into implementation
d) embed the change
Here you have to use the Coping with Organisational Change model - basically talk about what you will do in order to avoid problems. Give examples and models. Have a look at the important factors such as communication, giving your employees relevant feedback and support, regular staff meetings. Point out the things which organisation is going to do and improve in the future. What the organisation will ! do to implement the change successfully.
There are faxes for this order.

Topic: "Forces of Change", Research how to do a Force Field Analysis

Base on the following:

Use Force Field Analysis [Research how to do a Force Field Analysis - see MindTools (www.mindtools.com)] to analyze for an organization (one that you choose):
? Identify the key issues impacting the use of information technology within an organization; these might be internal factors such as culture, skills, core competencies, etc.
? Analyze the effects of environmental challenges on the organization's business and how information technology plays a role in meeting these challenges. These might be external factors such as competition, globalization, government regulations

Include the following:
? Forces for and against change
? Recommendations on overcoming obstacles
? Business benefits of change (increased revenue, reduced costs, improved customer service)

*Once the analysis is completed, formulate a thesis statement that is included in the first one or two paragraphs. The thesis should be in the form of an argument or value statement. For example, a value statement would be short statement of the problem or issue and short overview of recommendations.

Special notes:
? Write [business] papers in third person
? At least two charts, figures, or tables to increase depth of analysis and improve communications.
