Write a 6 pages paper on change plans and projects with an organization. The human element of the company will be implementing the change and also be influenced by it: this is why it is so important to consider it before formulating plans.

The first element that should be considered is whether the plan being explored will bring more benefits than problems for the company (Wands, 2001). This might seem a self-evident factor, but at times change plans take on the inertia of their own. Time should be taken to see whether the change is really worth it. The second element will be the influence that the changes will have on the employees of the company, from the lowest entry-level employee to the CEO. As already outlined, such influence is essential to consider. The third element will be to brainstorm possible problems that may occur on implementation and to have contingency plans in place to deal with them.

Internal human elements that may force an organization to change are many and varied in nature. First, the retirement or other departure of leading personnel, such as the CEO, a long-term manager or other key personnel, may bring about the need for change. This “forcing” of change should, in fact, be seen as an opportunity for new ideas, systems, and outlooks to be instituted within the company. Another internal element may be dissatisfaction expressed, either individually or as a group, by a large proportion of the employees. &nbsp.

External elements, like the internal, are many and varied. External elements may include the appearance of a new company in competition to your company that will offer perhaps better opportunities for your personnel (Gardner, 2001). Changes in the salary structure may be needed to stop employees from being lost to the competitor company. Other external factors may be the availability of workers, maybe locally, but perhaps on the other side of the world, that can offer outsourcing possibilities in order to reduce costs.&nbsp.
