Problem Set

You are hired as a new director for your unit. Early on, you notice that the operation of your unit is extremely inefficient and a lot of valuable time and resources are being wasted.

To help your unit become more efficient, you decide to restructure the unit. You decide that the most efficient way to do this is through a change management plan.

How do you first work to understand the source of the inefficiency? Walk us through a change management plan, first identifying and then addressing the areas of concern. How do you determine what needs to be done? How do you analyze possible implications? How do you determine what would be the right approach to your change management plan? What do you share with the workforce? What do you share with the stakeholders?
