This unit provides the learner with the understanding and skills to support active
engagement in the process of strategic change management.Strategic change impacts on the human resources structure of the organisation and
this often means a restructuring of the workforce or changes in working practices.
Almost inevitably, change will generate resistance from some, particularly those
who feel that the change will have no positive benefits for them. Other people may
resist change simply because they prefer the status quo. Organisations need to
ensure that they have strategies in place to manage resistance to change and this
should be part of the overall model that they adopt for managing the change. Once
in place, progress towards change will need to be monitored.
Learners will develop an understanding of the models of strategic change and the
role that stakeholders play in this process. They will then examine the need for
change in a selected organisation and plan the implementation of a model for change.
