Integrated Strategic Change

Integrated Strategic Change

 Cummings and Worley define the concept of integrated strategic change
(ISC) as a comprehensive OD intervention that examines how planned
change can add value to strategic management.
 The integrative piece looks at a synthesis of business strategies and
organizational systems responding together to external and/or internal
disruptions.
 This strategic change plan then would help members manage the
transition from current status and organizational designs to a desired
future strategic orientation.
 The simultaneity of strategy and organizational design is the essence of
the integrated change plan. ISC is one of the newer concepts in the OD
repertoire
Integrated Strategic Change
 ISC can be either radical or gradual in its systemic realignment between
the environment and the businesses strategy.
 It has a results-focus while simultaneously examining processes,
structure and strategies. It is concerned with the implementation,
transition states, and human resources and not just the conceptual plan.
 It looks simultaneously at strategy, operations and tactics; and both
planning and execution.
 ISC considers three-time states: the present, the transition, and the
desirable future
 It is a highly participative process as opposed to traditional strategic
change planning which typically resides in a small staff sell at the highest
echelon in the executive branch of the organization.
