TRANSFORMATION AND MAKE UP!
(Inspired by SAILOR MOON)
When I saw this Image, I remembered this group who tackled this topic. I was amazed by them because it was explained thoroughly, from each balloon to another. But because of our turn to discuss, I was not that attentive comprehensively.
Steps in the Planned Change Process
1. Recognize the need for change
2. Diagnose and plan change
3. Manage the transition
4. Measure results Maintain Change
Why is it important to Adapt to CHANGE?
Individuals, teams, or organizations that do not adapt to change in timely ways are unlikely to survive.
In my organization, I actually involved in things transformational. My voice I think is also important to this organization. I have two organizations, the first organization that I have is in the academe. I was hired as full time last semester but decided to be a part-timer because of my schedule. In my almost 10 months on this institution, I always asked my opinion in my department. Back then, I was a moderator of InfoSci Club. I think in my tenure as a moderator, I can say that I have legacy to leave. I initiated the membership of PSITE XI and PSITS XI. I don’t mean that they will applaud me about that because for me, the school needs to transform to the next level like in enhancing skills and exposing students to the outside school activities. I’ve heard many words after I brought the new allied organization in my institution like: this is the first time that PCT having guests from other schools and take note of that, almost all IT students of Region XI attended that seminar-meeting. It was an honoured for me as a moderator, an IT instructor and a family of PCT to hear those words of appreciation; many seminars, trainings and scholarships that new organization that brings to my organization. The school was new to that and that kind of transformation helps us to be more competitive not in this field but globally.
THREE PHASES OF PLANNED CHANGE
- Unfreeze – help people accept that change is needed because the existing situation is not adequate
- Change – involves rearranging of current work norms and relationships to meet new needs
- Refreeze – Reinforces the changes made so that the new ways of behaving become stabilized.
My second organization is in the food business. I am one of the owners of this business. Every now and then we have meetings in regards to our blessed outlets. They appointed me as a Consultant, actually I don’t know why. But of course as one of the owners I have to think wiser, upright for our business. My voice is also important in this organization. I have this situation where I can relate to the three phases of planned change and that we have to transform literally. The first outlet was in the PCT, we have to ‘unfreeze’ as a group that our outlet should be more saleable to the first occupant to the place. What we did was, we created attractive designs and new to the eye of the many and that decision and plan was good. Two months after, there was this new competitor arrived. He copied our style of selling, designs of stall and etc. And there was a rivalry then.
The CHANGE PHASE was adapted. We decided to transform again and again because for us we have to compete and be unique to all the competitors. Now, we have to adapt the last PHASE which is ‘refreeze’ so that our business will still be stabilized. Our business is still in profitable stage.
