The document summarizes theories and approaches for implementing organizational change. It discusses:
1) Kurt Lewin's three-stage planned change theory of unfreezing, moving, and refreezing to break old norms and establish new ones.
2) The field of organizational development which sees organizations as open systems and emphasizes alignment, participation, and addressing the whole system.
3) Approaches like process-driven change that focus on how change is implemented rather than content, and task alignment which links desired behaviors to key tasks.

Work culture is powerful: it can impact sales, profits, recruiting efforts and employee morale, whether positively or negatively. Having a positive workplace culture is very important. Let's see how work culture impacts employees.
What is company culture? Great question. While wikipedia’s definition is a good place to start, we at Culture Labx thought we’d break it down to see if we could do better. In the process we couldn’t stop ourselves from creating something more sharable than just a blog post. And so, The Culture Code was born.
This presentation will be talking about a part of organizational change theory known as the Carnegie school theory of organizational change.a theory that involve process of decision making, behavioral theory,and also with its limits involving uncertainty and ambiguity

Thread #4:
Models of ethical decision-making lay the ground work for successful leadership in the face of ever-increasing complexities in higher education. There are models that share such elements as the process of defining the issues, making decisions by reviewing alternatives based on intuitive evaluation or on ethical rules and principles, and deciding whether to carry out the action and then implementing it using the best deliberative judgment. As an administrator, what steps do/would you take for framing your decision-making in today’s educational environment? Describe some of the more complex issues administrators are required to address that may elicit only negative decisions.
Thread #5:
An education administrator wears many hats while navigating institutional bureaucracy. He or she is called upon to take care of any issue that may arise that teachers either cannot, or should not, handle. Administrators have the task of establishing routines for school emergencies. Additionally, education administrators set a precedent for the overall atmosphere the school. Usually, the attitude of the leader will become the attitude of most of the staff. To accomplish all of these roles, the administrator must first and foremost have a vision about how education ought to look in his or her school. What actions would you take to convey to your staff, faculty, and the community at large that you have a vision for your institution that requires significant organizational change?
Thread #6:
At the organizational level, staff development is usually integrated with the institution’s overall human resource strategy and is normally considered to include institutional policies, programs, and procedures. However, at the individual level, staff development is concerned with the acquisition of new skills, processes, or consciousness that results in an enhanced intuitional perspective regarding the delivery of the university’s mission and strategic plan. Discuss your university’s approach to individual staff development in terms of various modes (fragmented, formalized, or focused).
Thread #7:
Accreditation is a voluntary process of self-regulation and peer review, adopted by the educational community. Institutions of higher education have voluntarily entered into associations to evaluate each other in accordance with an institution’s stated goals. Non-accredited institutions must be able to demonstrate that they possess certain “characteristics of quality” before they are allowed to become members of the association of accredited institutions. Discuss the importance of accreditation from the institutional, faculty, and student perspectives.

Change management planning process within an organization development model
Executive summary
Introduction
Organizations in the present day are in a constant state of change. This is necessary as they respond to the call of the fast-changing business environment in which they operate. External, internal, global, and technological environments are fast-changing hence the need to change a management strategy (Butler, 2015). √ This has a meaning that workplace systems together with strategies must continually change to adapt to these trends. A case study is presented in this paper where the management is to plan and communicate changes in senior management and additional stuff. The key emphasis is given to the way, the management is going to plan, communicate and ensure the organizations adopts these changes without affecting the morale of workers. It will be argued that a comprehensive communication strategy is Comment by Anne Richards: There has to be a significant change to ethos of business eg expansion overseas or takeover/merger

A good management change plan can bring a smooth transition and incorporation of changes in an organization. This plan will ensure employees are well guided in the whole process of change. Comment by Anne Richards: Write this as an argument statement and put in Executive Summary
Introduction
Studies have shown that There is a 70 % failure rate in the incorporation of changes in an organization. The biggest obstacle has been negative attitudes from employees (Pollack, 2015). How do we then curb this ugly side of the organizational changes? The following are smooth steps that will help plan for the changes in employee structure. Comment by Anne Richards: First sentence but provide soutce
Defining the change clearly and aligning it with the business goals; employees should be notified about the changes and be educated on how it is in line with business goals and objectives. Clear communication and explanation of the change and how it relates to the business mission, vision, objectives, and strategy will give employees an insight into the importance of these changes. Employees should be notified about the changes, provided regular updates and be educated on how it is in line with business goals and objectives. Determination of the impacts of the affected group will be key in carrying out the changes. It is a heart taking moment for senior employees to be demoted in this case or for their roles to be merged and one or two employees retrenched.

Organizational Change Models
Introduction
Change management models are models that are used by organizations in order to ensure swift change management. In order to apply change in an organization then the management needs to adhere to certain principles to effect the change. Different organizations experience different situations; thus they prefer different models. Change cannot be forced on employees and the organization at large therefore the change needs to be achievable, measurable, and realistic. Some of the important
aspects
in developing of the models are the role of the leaders in the change, the communication process, and overcoming resistance to change. This paper will focus on McKinsey’s – 7’s framework and the Kurt Lewin change management model in respect to the three important aforementioned aspects of change management models.
The McKinsey’s 7-s framework was developed in the 1980’s by Tom Peters and Robert Waterman, who were consultants working for McKinsey & Company consulting firm. The model has stood the test of time as it has been able to be relevant till date. This model centers on seven internal factors or aspects that any organization need to be aligned in order for it to be successful. The model can be used in a wide variety of company situations, making it a universal model. The model helps the management to determine how best they can implement a proposed strategy, determine the probable effects of company changes in the future and to improve the general performance of the company.
The seven elements in McKinsey’s model are broadly categorized in to either hard elements or soft elements. The soft elements are intangible and difficult to describe; they include skills, shared values, staff and style. On the other hand, hard elements are easily identifiable, concrete and can be easily be influenced by the management. The hard elements are; systems, structure and strategy (Waterman, Peters & Phillips, 1980).
In order for an organization to succeed then it needs a strategy to do that. The strategy can be attained through setting of objectives and performance metrics of both the employees and the organization. The organization should implement strategies that are geared towards dealing with the competitive pressure and gaining competitive advantage. The strategic plan should be able to deal with client needs and at the same time adapt to the dynamic environmental changes in the business world. The structure of an organization in defining its success, the structure entails how the company or its workforce is divided and the hierarchy. Various departments should be able to coordinate effectively. The structure of the organization defines how the team members align and organize themselves, and the lines of communication present in the organization.
An organization has many systems that run the organization e.g., the IT system and HR system. These systems should be in such a way that it works properly with the culture.

The paper will discuss an organizational change in management in order to resolve the problem within the organization. The first part of the paper will address different strategies used to maintain successful change and the second part will address how to overcome the resistance of change to achieve the new goals for the benefits of the organization.
Problems exist when something unexpected happens and for any organization to function effectively these problems must be resolved. Leaders and supervisors must identify the current situations and try to find out where the problem exists. McNamara (2010) states “Significant organizational change occurs, for example, when an organization changes its overall strategy for success, adds or removes a major section or practice, and/or wants to change the very nature by which it operates. It also occurs when an organization evolves through various life cycles, just like people must successfully evolve through life cycles”. It is the leaders’ role to facilitate changes since it is not an easy process, and be able to assist in the organization’s adoption of opportunities and threats.
Case study: International Cargo Carrier Co. (IACC).
The company is one of the cargo companies in Egypt. Their primary activity is concentrated in Suez and Alexandria ports. It provides shipping services to North America and southern Asia. The company lately was struggling and suffered the worst year in its history due to losses in income and layoffs. The company needed to gain back its image among the cargo business thus change in management, and a transformation was applied. The company today became successful and gained back its position as one of the well-known cargo carrier companies in Egypt.
The organizational change was successful because their mission was accomplished. Making sure that packages were delivered on time, improving the information system in order to speed up the orders process, establishing good customer relationships, monitoring shipping orders and loading and unloading of trucks. Different strategies were used to maintain this success and are addressed as follows:
• The company’s awareness for urgent change and the recognition of the threats allowed them to make others in the company aware of the need for change. The company was scanning the internal and external environment to identify competitive situations, profits and losses, updated technology, and market trends which was an asset for leaders to communicate with their subordinates.
• A new strategy was developed to formulate a vision for the change and applying different strategies to reach new goals and make the change happen. McNamara (2010) states “It is important to know the reason for change, plan for new goals, needs to reach these goals and how to estab.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
