Change Management
Approaches in the planning and implementation

In the planning and implementation of changes four approaches need to be distinguished

TOP DOWN
 Change process is planned by top management
 Staff changes are to implement even though they are not involved in the planning

DISADVANTAGE :
 Resistance
 Management has excessive expectations

BOTTOM UP
 change process continuously consists from the lowest level upward
 changes are initiated by competent staff

DISADVANTAGE :
 Potential is not fully exploited
 Possible lack of knowledge
Change Management
Approaches in the planning and implementation

In the planning and implementation of changes four approaches need to be distinguished

BOTH DIRECTIONS
 Countercurrent process
 Combination of bottom up and top down
 Combines advantages of both approaches and will eliminate the disadvantages

MULTIPLE NUCLEUS
 Subject organizations where there is no pronounced hierarchy
 changes start at the same time in different places

DISADVANTAGE :
 Possible chaotic sequence
 Risk of uncoordinated partial solutions
