Question :

1. What definition of change and innovation.

2. Why organization need for change and need innovation
3. How to overcome resistance for change in organization?

Answer :

1.Change management is a systematic approach to dealing with change both from the perspective of
an organization and the individual. Change management is an important part of project management
The project manager must examine the proposed change and determine the effect the change will have
on the project as a whole before allowing the change request to be implemented.  

Business innovation is an organization's process for introducing new ideas, workflows, methodologies,
services or products , why business innovation is important. The purpose of the business innovation
process is to create value for the organization. That value can come from creating new revenue
opportunities or driving more revenue through existing channels; from creating efficiencies that save
time, money or both; or from improvements to productivity or performance.

In short, innovation should lead to higher profits.

Additionally, the results of an organization's innovation process should yield a competitive advantage; it
should help the organization to grow and reach -- or, better still, exceed -- strategic objectives.

2.CHANGE ,Any business in today's fast-moving environment that is looking for the pace of change
to slow is likely to be sorely disappointed. In fact, businesses should embrace change. Change is
important for any organization because, without change, businesses would likely lose their competitive
edge and fail to meet the needs of what most hope to be a growing base of loyal customers .

Technology

Without change, business leaders still would be dictating correspondence to secretaries, editing their
words and sending them back to the drawing board, wasting time for all involved. Change that results
from the adoption of new technology is common in most organizations and while it can be disruptive at
first, ultimately the change tends to increase productivity and service Technology also has affected how
we communicate. 
Customer Needs

Customers who were satisfied with conventional ovens many years ago are sometimes impatient with
the microwave today. As the world evolves, customer needs change and grow, creating new demand for
new types of products and services -- and opening up new areas of opportunity for companies to meet
those needs.

The Economy

The economy can impact organizations in both positive and negative ways and both can be stressful. A
strong economy and increasing demand for products and services will mean that companies must
consider expansion that might involve the addition of staff and new facilities . 

Growth Opportunities

Change is important in organizations to allow employees to learn new skills, explore new opportunities
and exercise their creativity in ways that ultimately benefit the organization through new ideas and
increased commitment. Preparing employees to deal with these changes involves an analysis of the
tools and training required to help them learn new skills. 

INNOVATION There are many benefits for an organisation implementing innovative management
techniques and processes within business. One of the key aspects of any successful business is the
ability to come up with brand new ideas, to maintain fresh, original operations, products and services
for their customers. The benefits of an innovative business, right through from start-up, growth and
development can far outweigh any benefits gained from simply sharing or copying another idea or
model.

Create a Competitive Advantage

We thoroughly assess your business and the marketplace around you, to identify the most valuable way
of implementing innovative strategies and techniques. In today's ever-advancing global knowledge
economy, it is crucial that organisations have access to the best ideas and capabilities from around the
world, in order to demonstrate a true commercial advantage

Establish the best method for your own Business

We understand that every organisation will have its own unique priorities, sector-specific issues and
business objectives. Businesses that are unable to innovate, by recognising their current resources,
opportunities for development, response to customer or organisational needs and anticipation of future
trends, run the risk of operating inefficiently.

 
3. How to Overcome Resistance to Change in an Organization . In business, the one thing you can be
assured of is change. As the economy ebbs and flows, so must the strategies employed by
business. If your organization experiences change it may also need to implement new business
strategies, which can create resistance among employees. While every organization is different,
there are some common best practices that can help to overcome resistance to new business
strategies

1. Create a way to communicate with employees about new initiatives and their progress. Instruct key
management to provide employees with regular updates at team meetings.

2. Market the new business strategy to each group. Explain the new plan in terms (a common
language) that help each group understand how the new strategy will make their own jobs better or
easier. Everyone in the organization must understand the goal of the new business strategy.

3. Invite a team member from each functional group to participate in meetings or provide seminars
for each group to market the strategy.

4. Select a group of change agents from key positions to help manage planning and implementation.
Find one person from each group who is vocal. Try to select those in nonmanagement positions as well.

5. Develop key deliverables for each department, organization and person involved in the new
business strategy. A deliverable is a final report or the output from implementing the new business
strategy. Each group head must tailor the deliverable to the goals of the group. For example, one
deliverable can be to increase sales by 5 percent. Another can be lower costs by 5 percent.

6. Tie successful implementation to compensation. Create at least four key milestones and goals to
measure success throughout the year. Report on performance regularly and publicly reward those
people or groups that meet goals.
