Introduction
The study reflects on the strategic changes required for the organisation BizOps in Australia. The
switch includes the plan to apply the new changes and the issues to become a successful
organisation.
1. Strategic change needs according to the objective and competitive
advantage of the organisation
The strategic change is concluded as restructuring the business of an organisation and
incorporating the marketing plan to achieve the target. It generally follows the three steps for
developing the difference in the organisation.

To understand the strategic needs of the managers in every department of the organisation
BizOps has to know about the objectives. To analyse the goals of the organisation and the
competitive strategies the department can identify the operational or functional plans:
Essential financial planning: BizOps should focus on the origin of the business plan and
conduct the annual budgeting for removing the economic problems. A revenue forecast, capital,
means and identifying the limits on a monthly basis with a proper information system can help to
compare the budget together and maintain a competitive advantage in the market (Grant, 2016).
Forecast based planning: It is essential to understand the degree of technological requirements
for maintaining efficiency in the work. Trend analysis and regression models can improve in the
forecasting method and can identify the environmental shift by focusing on the adverse effects
on the fortune of BizOps.
Externally oriented planning: Adopting of strategic business units can control the different
factors which are negatively affecting the business. The concept of SBU focus on two strategic
levels: a corporate decision that has changed in the shape and direction of the company and the
business units decision which has affected individually while operating in the organisation.
Planning framework: The company should focus on the value and uniqueness of the product
and introduce it to the minimum price so that it can be sold more among the new as well as
existing customers (Nagle, & Müller, 2017).
