1CHANGE MANAGEMENT
Henry Silva did an internship with New Power LLC, during his second year at
Columbia Business School. During his internship that the company has the potential to
achieve much more that what it is now. His visions of change matched with the founder Seth
Perkins, who offered him the job of the director of special projects, which would allow him to
bring changes according to his visions and transform the company to the potential that it can
achieve.
However, Silva is in the dilemma of accepting the offer. The main reason which
creates the debate in Silva’s mind is his expertise. He is only a second year student and his
lack of experience in the actual field makes him doubt his visions about the change.
Moreover, as he had never worked as a change management expert his process of work might
not be helpful for the company. These challenging factors, created the internal debate
whether he could live up to the difficult task of being the prime change agent of the company
and bring about radical changes in the running of the company and its environment.
Silva might not have any experience in working as the change manager, however, he
had earlier worked in an established energy company as the product manager. He was very
much acquainted with the work culture of the company, where they maintained a friendly
atmosphere and co-operated with each other. In New Power, during his internship he
however faced a different work culture where there was no friendly atmosphere but a
technical attitude towards work which mechanized the process. However, Silva should
consider Perkins’ offer because he was able to convince him that how he saw the hidden
potential of the company. His belief that with a better working environment and co-operation
among the workers could launch the company to new heights which would be able to utilize
the potential of the company. Silva should be motivated by the founder who believed in his
ideas and is ready to give him full charge to bring in the change of the company.
