Bringing about Organisational Change‐A Framework

The article describes a framework for devising or selecting strategies and methods for implementing planned change. The framework rests on three key propositions concerning organisation change. These are that change needs to be measurable and/or observable; that organisation change requires invidual change; and that individual change requires that learning has occurred and that motivation to apply the learning exists. Two models concerned with organisational change are offered which emphasise the need for individual involvement and provision of appropriate training and development in order for planned change to be successful. The framework itself, derived from the propositions and supported by the theoretical models, indicates the level and nature of involvement for different categories of change.
