With SC’s cross-functional experience and exposure, we understand that organizational change is all about reviewing and modifying structures – specifically management structures – and business processes. We help organizations to embrace change and reap its benefits. Small commercial enterprises need to adapt to survive against larger competitors. They also need to learn to thrive in that environment. Large rivals need to adapt rapidly when a smaller, innovative competitor comes onto the scene. To avoid falling behind, or to remain a step ahead of its rivals, a business must seek out ways to operate more efficiently. It must also strive to operate more cost effectively. Change is something that should be embraced rather than feared. Only with change will businesses be able to lay the foundations for long-term success.
According to Cambridge Dictionary, organizational change is:
“A process in which a large company or organization changes its working methods or aims, for example in order to develop and deal with new situations or markets.”
Many people would disagree with Cambridge Dictionary’s description. They say the definition should not limit organizational change just to something that happens in large companies.
Organizational Change looks both at the process in which a company or any organization changes its operational methods, technologies, organizational structure, whole structure, or strategies, as well as what effects these changes have on it. Organizational change usually happens in response to – or as a result of – external or internal pressures.
