Planning and Implementing Change

Once an organization determines the optimal change strategy, it must be implemented in an organization. At this point, many influences can affect its ultimate success, including the organization’s culture, leadership abilities, and employee behavior. Therefore, a detailed and comprehensive change implementation plan should be created to assess these factors and facilitate the success of the plan. Present the basic steps/components of an action plan an organization within KSA should follow when implementing its change management strategy. Additionally, discuss the importance of a contingency plan and indicate which components are typically addressed in a contingency plan. Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories, which require supporting citations along with two scholarly peer-reviewed references in supporting your answer. Cawsey, T.
