1. Change Management
With the recession holding strong and the economy showing a slow recovery, businesses just cannot
afford to lose customers. Large corporations have regular customers and large transactions are
involved, losing these customers and trying to find new ones is similar to reconstructing the
business; it requires both time and money to do so. This is why large businesses just cannot take the
risk of cutting down quality to reduce prices. So what are they supposed to do if they are to cope
with the economy? Unfortunately, the demands of customers change from time to time and
products need to be updated accordingly. This is where most of the operating cost lies. To deal with
these demands, businesses turn to business change management. Effective use of this technique can
generate large profits and repetitive and satisfied customers.
As the leading figure, you will always need to have employee agreement on decisions. Sometimes
there will be disagreement, but you will assure them that they are with you, in these changing times,
as a team. For this you need to keep in contact with the employees, this may require
implementation of an effective communication system. The employees need to be up to date with
every situation in the company so that they can set their activities as per the new directive.
You will need to create targets, both short and long term. The short term targets would show the
employees how the change is benefiting the organization and the long term goals would create
profit for the company. All this seems like a lot of work, but keeping in mind the benefits and the
economy it would be wiser to go with business change management. Of course, many people fear
change and they believe that they might go wrong at some stage. These people need not worry; they
can just hire change management consultants to assist them.
Change management consultants charge a fee and regular visits would mean a burden on the
company, but this is not the case. A consultant does not need to be called in every time you need to
make a change or reach a decision. The consultant would work with you and the company
employees to bring change in the company. Some additional equipment might be bought in by these
consultants, but the initial costs will definitely be outweighed by the benefits.
