lot which were the reason due to which the social welfare organization has been facing major
issues. It has been said that the due to the lack of support in the leadership of this organization it
has been failing to achieve its objectives. The division of its operations was also a factor that
affected the performance of this company.
It can be understood from this analysation that the organization has been affected due to
the lack of proper management and leadership. This can be seen in the structural imbalances that
has been caused in the organization. The focus of this organization has to be in the ways in
which the social welfare organization can gain the competitive advantages (Jayatilleke and Lai,
2018). Hence, it is going to be very effective for the social welfare organization to be able to gain
effectiveness with the help of changing the operations of the organization.

which it will manage the operations.
Removing barriers to change :

In this change the focus of the organization would be first on starting the change as it has
been planned in order to achieve the organizational objectives in a given amount of time. This is
going to help the company to achieve the ways in which they are able to generate the operational
effectiveness.
