CHANGE MANAGEMENT1
Change aligned with the company's strategic direction
The concerned organization, Benso Oil Palm Plantation, is being facing a variety of
issues relating to the lack of technological infusions in the production and processing systems.
Benso Oil Palm Plantation aimed at designing the processes for producing and processing
crude palm oil. However, the lack of technological reforms and the utilization of outdated
machinery affected the capacities of the venture in ramping up the production. Therefore, the
concerned organization took steps to install automated hydraulic press and spindle press with the
objective of revamping the production process of the same.
The change agent
The competitive oil markets, being an external agent, created an urgency for Benso Oil
Palm Plantation with the purpose of implementing the change in the processes. Change in an
organization is reliant on the effective contribution of the change agents (Matos Marques Simoes
& Esposito, 2014).The process of automated presses would support the venture in improving the
rate of production while sustaining in the different markets.
My role in the change
I work as the production manager of Benso Oil Palm Plantation, where I was entitled
with the job of informing the subordinates and my fellow followers of the change that the
concerned venture is planning to undertake. On the other hand, I was also required to monitor the
present condition of the production process and report to the operations manager of the amount
of modification that the concerned venture might realize through the implementation of the
modernized automated machinery.
