DRASTIC ACTION AND EVOLUTIONARY ADAPTATION1
2.1 Introduction
Williams (2018) mentioned that the organizational change is defined as changes
within the organizational processes, culture as well as technologies. The organization changes
are occurred for separate period of time. Hayes (2018) discussed that change management
plan is a tool focused on how the project team as well as people are being affected by the
transition. Increase in innovation of the technology within the business can increase in
competition as it becomes compulsory for the organization to make possible project changes.
Change management helps in assessing as well as understanding requirements and impact of
organization change. It also manages diverse cost of the changes with reduction of time
needed to implement possible changes.
2.2 Drastic Action and Evolutionary Adaption Change
Change Management Plan
According to Vlados, Deniozos and Chatzinikolaou (2018), the change management
plan helps the business organization to be competitive in the market as it can affect both
employees as well as operational departments directly. The change in the organization is
categorized as two types- one is transformation throughout drastic action and throughout
evolutionary adaption. In this business case, the change is being forced by the senior
management. Williams (2018) stated that the organization is developing its capabilities to
anticipate organizational changes by looking at future growth. The essay is based on develop
an organizational change plan results in organizational development. The project team is
contained of four team members those are performing the responsibilities of organizational
change plan. The first team performed purpose, goals and objectives for strategic
requirements of the organization (Ivanova and Persson 2017). Second team member is
responsible to identify the key stakeholders and organizational climate required for

implementation plan. The third team is responsible to plan for implementation changes and
communication plan. Fourth team member is responsible to perform the cost benefit analysis
and training plan.
Drastic Action Change
Transformation changes is done through drastic action where the organiational
changes are done through gradual processes such that it can reach its expected change stage.
The changes are made by providing responses to influence of external environmental as well
as internal environment so that changes can meet with organizational goals. Turner (2019)
mentioned that the drastic change is discontinuous changes and deal with the organization at
top management. In this situation, changes should occur quickly and it can cause difficulties
for the organization. It is an immediate process along with forced to the organization in face
of significant events (Uhl and Gollenia 2016). Introduction of advanced technology upgrade
is a type of drastic change. It requires a shift in assumptions created by management and
employees.
Evolutionary Adaption Change
Hayes (2018) stated that evolutionary adaption is a step by step changes and
decentralization. It is the incremental changes takes place within the business organization
over the time. Slow and gradual changes are taken place to make sure that the organization
can gain a competitive position in the organization. Cameron and Green (2019) argued that it
is happened when new strategic directions come in eyes of the management because of
unpredictable things occurred in the business environment. It is a slow process and also
incremental while the entire results should create a change in the business organization
(Ivanova and Persson 2017). The pace is slow as well as involved the individuals to make
sure of less disturbance.
