FACILITATING CHANGE AND INNOVATION VERSION
Introduction
The XYZ Iron and Steel works, also known as the XYZISW is one of the largest
companies within the construction industry of New Zealand. Due to the emergence of multiple
rivalries in the industry, the company y has not managed to fare well in terms of profit and
revenue generation, Due to this, I have been appointed as project manager of the organization to
implement various changes and improvements for facilitating the innovation procedure and
collaborate with the stakeholders involved in business to gain a sustainable position again within
the iron and steel industry in New Zealand (Bresciani, Thrassou & Vrontis, 2013). This will not
only allow brining changes, but can also facilitate the collaboration between the stakeholders to
ensure that positive outcomes are achieved with ease and effectiveness.
Task 1 Facilitating change management implementation
Implementation plan for strategies of innovation and proposed changes
The construction industries are adaptive systems where employees can often work
according to their wish that are not predictable always though all these actions are connected
with the actions undertaken by the agent associated with the change within the organization. First
and foremost, it is important to understand the need for change and how the organization can be
benefited, which will assist in dealing with the combinatorial and dynamic complexities,
furthermore reinforce the feedbacks and responses obtained based on which, changes should be
proposed for improving the business functioning (Cameron & Green, 2015). The company’s
employees were not much supportive and it was found that due to lower wages, they were not

committed to their work properly, which might be the underlying cause of business downfall and
this could be overcome with the management of human resources properly and enabling change
through formation of a new organizational structure and culture as well.
Thus, the change baseline should be focused on the creation of change by transforming
the structure of the organization to hierarchical and managing a culture where employees are
managed properly by the leader. The change strategies should revolve around the restructuring of
organization, which could not only create a healthy workplace culture, but would also make the
employees feel interested with their work with higher level of motivation and encouragement all
throughout (Ceulemans, Lozano & Alonso-Almeida, 2015).
The change should be measured by determining the feasibility of the innovation to be
achieved from the creation of a new organizational structure and culture. It could also be
measured by providing the employees with training and identifying their developmental needs,
for making them feel that they have been valued by XYZISW.
The changes should be communicated with the employees of the organization and as a
project manager, I should make sure of keeping the Line manager informed about the latest
updates about new project revolving around the restructuring of the organization (Schot &
Steinmueller, 2016). The employees should be made aware of a new culture and how well they
could get accustomed with the new organizational policies and procedures to ensure smooth
business functioning along with higher commitment level of theirs within the workplace.
