Abstract
Changes in the organizations in the current competitive world today are considered as necessary.
Change agents play critical roles in the organizations and they are responsible for the effective
change in the companies. The Lewin’s Change Management Model and Kotter’s Eight-Step
Model for Leading Change are both effective and useful models of change. These could be
implemented for the successful change procedures in the organizations.

Introduction
In the modern and global world today, business organizations are adopting the
developing trends of national and international markets in order to remain competitive. Change
agents within the organizations are the ones who focus on organizational transformation. Change
agents adopt several measures for the betterment of the organization and work for its
effectiveness, development, and growth ("Change Agent Definition | Human Resources (HR)
Dictionary", 2019). Similar to change agents change models are adopted in the organizations but
the most useful ones include Lewin’s Change Management Model and Kotter’s Eight-Step
Model for Leading Change. In this paper, both change models will be discussed in detail with
their advantages and disadvantages.
John Kotter’s Eight-Step Model for Leading Change
While researching for change, John Kotter explains that change agents have certain
qualities and attributes. It includes management and leadership qualities. Management is
necessary when it comes to organizational operations that should be run smoothly. But
leadership is a process that provides success to the organizations when the leaders are able to
motivate employees, increase their productivity, and direct the organizations in the best ways.
Kotter explains that leadership is a more important component as compare to the management
when it involves the change process.
Kotter’s model is based o.

Building Motivation
Communicate Why the Redesign is Needed
People need a compelling reason to change. With all of the changes being requested and demanded of people in the current world, people must be convinced that change is necessary.
Even when leadership initiates organizational change, it is often experienced as just one more unrealistic and often absurd demand. Employees are likely to respond in a passive-aggressive manner and simply do things the same. The previously engaged workforce may suddenly start misplacing things, ignoring e-mails, and spending hours talking with colleagues about what is happening. It is the leadership’s responsibility to not only have a vision but to also see that motivation for the change effort is high. Consultants can be helpful to management in this regard, but ultimately it is management’s responsibility. An offhand announcement of a redesign can literally bring production to a halt in a business. Even though management feels the redesign is in the employees’ best interest, if they are not properly prepared and brought in, the employees are likely to respond to the news in a way that will not move things forward. In fact, without a timely and wise explanation of why changes are needed, they may see the redesign as irresponsibility on the part of management.
Communicating Credible Reasons and Expectations for the Redesign
Management must take the time not only to provide a clear vision of the redesign but to also communicate why the redesign is necessary. The cost of not taking time to communicate credible reasons as to why the redesign was done and providing credible expectations of what it will take to realize the benefits of the redesign, will cost the company dearly.
One way to build support is to involve employees and other stakeholders in the diagnosis and redesign. This takes time, but it helps employees understand why the redesign is important and builds motivation for making it work. However, if management already has its mind made up and is going to do what it wants to do regardless, involvement can backfire in a big way.
At the least, a communication campaign is essential. The campaign must be honest because employees and other stakeholders can see through the spin and hype.
Do not Ignore Resistance
Resistance is feedback. Figure out why it is there, and do not force it. Like the plumber or mechanic who forces a part to fit, the likely result is generally a broken part. Force generally does not work and is nearly always expensive and time-consuming. Resistance is natural. Ohm’s lawapplies to human behavior much like it does in physics—there is always resistance. Good managers and consultants learn from the resistance and manage it.

Acknowledge Changing Relationships and Responsibilities

Organizational Capability: Structure,
Culture, and Roles
Over the last 15 years, my company (Atos Origin) has been through three
significant mergers/acquisitions and has seen good growth. As new lines
of businesses and employees have been added, we have become truly a
global company, where people from many countries where our businesses
operate come together to present the best solution to our clients. An
excellent example is the work we do for the Olympics games (Atos Origin
has been the worldwide IT partner for the Olympics for several years).
The overall project life cycle for most of the projects in the company
follows the typical IT project management approach. What has evolved over
time is the use of employees from different regions of the world to service a
client need. For instance, we have onsite operations for a client in the United
States and in Europe. The development and testing work is done offshore in
India. The onsite team members are primarily the program manager, project
managers (who deal with the client), business analysts, and technical

The Organization
Environmental Management Alternatives, EMA, was founded by two brothers and a friend to provide an alternative to the disposal of hazardous waste. Starting out with the three owners, a sales rep., and two laborers they built a profitable business. They began to look into new markets within the environmental industry and hired project managers that had a client list they could bring with them and so began the growth and expansion of the company. They ended up with five project managers and three sales reps which were bringing in more work than they could handle so a hiring spree ensued and along with this the troubles began. They ended up with a workforce of twenty personnel consisting of operators and laborers. As with any company growing pains can be difficult to deal with but in the case of EMA they had the additional problems of having no true, defined management structure in place and they were winging it. With the lack of a clear plan or clear leadership the work force quickly became disgruntle in the disorganization that followed. It became apparent to the owners that a restructuring was in order that included defined roles, chain of command, and accountability.
Problem Statement
The lack of structure was the problem for EMA, if one were to best describe the leadership at the time a functional or weak matrix would best describe this situation. When looking at these two styles we can see that there are five characteristics that are considered and the role of the manager in each. The project manager’s (PM) authority, resource availability, management of the project budget, PM’s role, and project management administrative staff are the five characteristics to be considered. Under these two styles the manager has little to no control over these characteristics with no r.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
On completing this chapter you should be able to define these key concepts. You should also understand:
· Work design methodology
· Changes in the nature of work
· Work system design
· Process planning
· Smart working
· Flexible working
· High-performance working
· Lean manufacturing
· Organization design
· Job design
Introduction
Work, organization, and job design are three distinct but closely associated processes that establish what work is done in organizations and how it is done. Work design deals with the ways in which things are done in the work system of a business by teams and individuals. Organization design is concerned with deciding how organizations should be structured. Job design is about establishing what people in individual jobs or roles are there to do. Although these three activities are dealt with separately in this chapter they share one purpose – to ensure that the organization’s work systems and structure operate effectively, make the best use of people in their jobs and roles and take account of the needs of people at work.
In theory, to achieve that purpose, work, organization and job design function sequentially. The work system is designed to meet the specific needs of the business and to deliver value to its customers or clients. An organization structure or system (not all organizations are rigidly structured) has to be developed to enable the work system to operate. The structure is made up of jobs or roles (there is a distinction, which will be explained later) that have to be designed in ways that will maximize the extent to which they can be carried out effectively and provide intrinsic motivation, ie motivation from the work itself.
In practice, the processes involved can run concurrently – the work system will involve deciding how the work should be organized, and both the work system and organization design processes will define what sort of jobs or roles are required. At the same time, job design considerations will affect how the work is organized and how the work system functions. This chapter deals with each aspect of design separately, but it should be remembered that the processes interlink and overlap.Work design
Work design is the creation of systems of work and a working environment that enhance organizational effectiveness and productivity, ensure that the organization becomes ‘a great place in which to work’ and are conducive to the health, safety and well-being of employees. Work involves the exertion of effort and the application of knowledge and skills to achieve a purpose. Systems of work are the combined processes, methods and techniques used to get work done. The work environment comprises the design of jobs, working conditions and the ways in which people are treated at work by their managers and co-workers as well as the work system. Work design is closely associated with organization and job design in that the latter is con.

In practice, the processes involved can run concurrently – the work system will involve deciding how the work should be organized, and both the work system and organization design processes will define what sort of jobs or roles are required. At the same time, job design considerations will affect how the work is organized and how the work system functions. This chapter deals with each aspect of design separately, but it should be remembered that the processes interlink and overlap.Work design
Work design is the creation of systems of work and a working environment that enhance organizational effectiveness and productivity, ensure that the organization becomes ‘a great place in which to work’ and are conducive to the health, safety and well-being of employees. Work involves the exertion of effort and the application of knowledge and skills to achieve a purpose. Systems of work are the combined processes, methods and techniques used to get work done.

4. In early 1960s an American Professor Harlod J. Leavitt
presented a model which explains organizational change.
Revolves around four components of organizational change
and these elements are: structure, task, technology and
people.
These four elements are interconnected and interdependent.
Professor placed these elements in a square shape to reflect
the mutual connection among all of these.
This square shape looks like a diamond and that is why it is
widely known as Leavitt’s Diamond Model.
