Some factors need to be measured while choosing the methods to be applied in making necessary changes in any organization. A few of such are listed below:
• The present culture prevalent in the organization and the probable response to change.
• Measure of disagreement to be expected following application of change.
• Strength base of the one originating the change.
• The importance of information, communication and commitment that needs to be put into the planning and application of change.
Some strategies need to be followed keeping in mind the above factors when using Change Management Tools. The following are some of the strategies that are important in the process:
• Directive strategy- this strategy indicates that changes can be implemented immediately following imposition.
• Expert strategy- this is used when any technological issue arises in the process.
