“Change management has many benefits within organizations. Change management can improve the team’s leadership skills as well as increase productivity levels. When a system or process is in place for extended amounts of time, it can harm the organization. A good example of this that many people can relate to is the common trend of groupthink. Group Think is when the majority of people within an organization think in similar ways and have similar ideas. In situations such as this, change management is crucial as it offers vehicles for change and new ideas. There are many other examples of why change management is imperative in an organization such as; the restructuring of organizational culture, hierarchal restructure, and mergers or acquisitions. In all of these examples, there is ample opportunity for change to be implemented but it must be done properly with the necessary support to all employees. In conclusion, the majority of employees are change adverse but it is necessary when propelling the organization forward. “ – Stephen H.
