This PPT slide, part of the 26-slide Burke-Litwin Change Model PowerPoint presentation, outlines the second step in the Burke-Litwin Change Model, focusing on assessing the current situation within an organization. This step is crucial for understanding the key drivers behind the need for change. The guiding principles listed serve as a framework for this assessment, emphasizing various critical areas.
First, the external environment is highlighted, prompting an evaluation of external factors driving change and their potential impact on the organization. This sets the stage for understanding the broader context in which the organization operates.
Next, the mission and strategy are examined. It’s important to discern whether there’s a clear mission that aligns with the formal strategy. Discrepancies between perceived and actual missions can lead to misalignment among employees, affecting engagement and performance.
Leadership is another focal point. The slide encourages an exploration of who the actual leaders are within the organization, their leadership styles, and the effectiveness of these styles in driving change. Understanding leadership dynamics is essential for fostering a supportive environment for transformation.
Organizational culture is addressed, prompting inquiries into the unwritten rules that govern behavior. Conflicts between these cultural norms and the organization’s goals can hinder progress.
The structure of the organization is also analyzed, looking at how roles are defined and how decisions are made. This insight is vital for identifying potential bottlenecks in the change process.
Lastly, the systems in place are scrutinized. This includes policies and procedures that dictate how work is done and how employees are motivated and rewarded. A thorough understanding of these systems is necessary to ensure they support the desired changes.
Overall, this slide emphasizes a comprehensive approach to assessing the current situation, which is foundational for effective change management.
This slide is part of the Burke-Litwin Change Model PowerPoint presentation.
