TASK 1
1.1: Critically evaluate the range of organisational change, models and frameworks that could be
used in your organisation
Organisation change is an ongoing process where manager constantly analyse the
external environment and take valuable efforts in terms to bring out the favourable change.
Teams member or overall internal staff contribute their efforts in terms to mitigate the possibility
of risk and perform desirable performance significantly.
Models of organisation change: There are various models that are applied by diverse
companies in order to enhance their structure and implement desirable amount of changes. Some
models that can be used by Vauxhall company in terms to bring out changes are displayed
below:

ADKAR model: According to ADKAR change management tool focus is given to
possibly understand the changes, analyse activities and directly manage team in order to
incorporate better changes. On the basis of this model the manager of an organisation usually
analyse the possibility to bring changes in order to carry out sustainable performance (Beal III,
Stavros and Cole, 2013). Similarity, in context to Vauxhall company shape out its internal
operation by investing in electric cars which does not leads to carbon emission. For this the
internal manager need to analyse the performance gap or holes in the change management
process and effectively offer training in order to conduct favourable changes.
Awareness: Initially, Vauxhall limited motors understand and effectively analyse the
possibility to conduct the requirement for changes. Untapped opportunity with the help of market
research is analysed to set out unique image of brand.
Desire: After gaining adequate insights from market Vauxhall Motors Limited develop
the urge to bring out changes in order to transform the operations of an organisation and works
for the welfare of society. This led the company to build unique image and attract the interest of
diverse stakeholders.
Knowledge: The internal representative of Vauxhall Motors Limited together carry out
deep discussion as well as procedure by which changes needs to be incorporated. Along with that
factual figures is shared with internal staff which decide the necessity to adopt desirable changes
and participate to control the cause fro climate change that is huge emission of carbon from
vehicles.
Ability: Ability reflects the process to incorporate significant amount of changes on
continuous basis. Herein, Vauxhall Motors Limited with the help of its competitive team
effectively manage and started to work on manufacturing extended range of electric cars like
Ampera E-Rev.
Reinforcement: Positive reinforcement is form of monetary and non monetary benefits
like promotion, salary hike and recognition is provided to retain the desirable changes (Chen,
Woods and Singh, 2013).
Lewin's change model: This is the popular change management model that can be
applied by Vauxhall Motors Limited in terms to effectively gather the collective efforts and
improve operations to maximise overall profitability or productivity. It basically comprises of
three stages that is listed down below:

Unfreeze: This is the first stage under which the CEO or top executive manager of
Vauxhall Motors analyse the signification to alter the existing manufacturing practices. This is
the preparation stage where on the basis of external environment efforts are taken to prepare
changes. To remain competitive and expend market share it is vital for all successfully
companies to maintain the balance and secure the interest of surrounding.
Change: This is called as transition as here all the changes are practically applied to
foster performance according to external environment. It often takes time so the HR manager of
Vauxhall Motors needs to effectively state the significance to invest time and effort for acquiring
new working pattern. Efforts are made to avoid the chances of residence by carrying out
innovative successfully.
Refreeze: All the changes are embraced and maintained at this stage by the close
supervision of supervisor who motivate them to constantly practice changes without getting back
to normal routine (Doppelt, 2017). This lead Vauxhall Motors Limited to strengthen their
operations successfully.
McKinsey 7-S model: This is favourable tool used by diverse organisations to build
strategy and take change management initiative. In involve adequate amount of strategies that
can be build by representatives of an organisation in order to exploit the opportunity and carry
out smooth performance. It involve 7 elements that are divided on the basis of hard and soft
which is discussed below:
Hard element
Strategy: The representatives of Vauxhall Motors Limited build change strategy in order
to remain ahead of competitors due to which after shifting towards electric car the company gain
immense amount of market share.
Structure: Due to the wide operations of Vauxhall Motors it has successfully adopted
functional structure where different functional area perform discussions and collaborate their
efforts to attain predetermine target successfully.
System: It involve the tasks and processes which are effectively delegated to employees
in order to capitalise the overall contribution (Hatak, Floh and Zauner, 2015).
Soft elements
Shared values: It represent the beliefs and shared culture that help company to establish
uniform guidelines or standard for inclusive workforce of Vauxhall Motors Limited.

Skills: Focus is given to enhance the competencies and skill of workforce so they they
adhere the change and participate their efforts.
Style: To bring innovative solution Vauxhall company adopt democratic leadership style
as within automotive sector technologies are constantly improved. This style involves the
valuable and innovative recommendation of staff that are followed suitably.
Staff: It involve the efforts of employees, individual and team member that collectively
practices to reach out shared target.
1.2: Identify and apply a range of creative problem solving techniques to address changes
There are various problem solving techniques whose objective is to effectively
understand the issue and bring revolution within existing working practices. The objective of
application of these techniques by Vauxhall company is to bring out innovative solution to
overcome existing challenges while incorporating changes. Explanation of some techniques is
articulated below:
Brainstorming method: Changes are not easy for the organisation to implement it it
does not involve the group efforts (Imhonopi, Urim and Excellence-Oluye, 2018). This technique
can be applied by Vauxhall company not only to effectively run existing changes but to bough
out future changes as well. It is considered as an effective method of problem solving as staff
member sit together and without any hesitation they spontaneously put their views forward
which helps in the development of innovative idea. Preferable idea is followed by overall
organisation and constantly faced the challenges.
Mind mapping: This problem solving technique is not only restricted to apply changes
but situations are reframed and actions are taken to cultivate creative changes. Like, Vauxhall
company rather then just focusing on bringing wide choice and add attributes in existing engine
cars they restructured their processes by moving into electric vehicles. Therefore, this technique
involves gaining deep insights from the market and structuring out all the vital information for
better analysis of new concept.
TRIZ methodology: TRIZ is an acronym for Theory of Inventive Problem Solving
under which organisation cultivate the strategy 'and develop innovative solution by creating
patentable invention. Although there are certain other companies as well that are into electric
cars such as Tesla. So Vauxhall company needs to currently focus to effectively implement the

change and focus to build unique attribute in order to articulate the trade off. This can increase
the chances of high TRIZ to triumph immense success and expand its operations wisely.
1.3: Critically evaluate, determine and justify change solutions that link to the achievement of
organisational strategy
The objective of using particular organisational strategy is to strengthen the operations
and competitively operate within external environment. In context to Vauxhall Motors Limited
which have adopted differentiated strategy in terms to distinguish its products and services from
other competitors (Lozano, 2013). Due to which investment in electric vehicles positively
contribute the organisation in terms to attain the feasible target and takes organisation in
favourable direction. The manager with the help of differentiated strategy constantly analyse the
external market and remain updated about the changes in terms to exploit the external
opportunity and gain immense amount of recognition. As climate change has become the major
global concern due to which it is responsibility of each and every company irrespective of their
size or scope to participate in order to incorporate sustainable performance. The internal
representatives of Vauxhall Motors Limited has offered significant solution to its external
stakeholder that is customer in terms to launch the electric cars which does not leads to any
carbon footprint. Along with that fuel being non renewable resources needs to be substantially
used due to which development of zero emission vehicle is the solution for that as well.
Moreover, internal and external stakeholder too gets attracted towards the company that deliver
vital solution and carry out the operation' of company in favourable directions.
TASK 2
2.1: Critically evaluate a range of change implementation models
To manage the changes and implement desirable strategies it is essential for the manager
to avoid using any random methods and articulate desirable plan. The manager of Vauxhall
Motors adopts change management methods which is the ongoing process in terms to promote
favourable changes (Lozano, Nummert and Ceulemans, 2016). Each methods either positively or
negatively affect the processes of company in order to implement desirable amount of changes.
Some of the approaches suggested for Vauxhall Motors in above description includes AKDAR
model, Lewin's change management model and McKinsey 7 S model which can directly
influence the performance in both positive and negative manner. For instance, AKDAR model

can promote the changes of Vauxhall Motors by breaking down the predetermined changes into
different steps or parts and offer desirable dimension to the people in terms to carry out the
action. On contrary, this can affect the performance of overall organisation as investment in
electric cars require huge amount of operating cost and competitive team that can affect their
ability and may resist to acquire changes. Based on Lewin's change model the manager of
Vauxhall Motors to remain competitive design valuable strategy that can help to provide
competitive advantage and expertise in the field of operation. While this process can negatively
affect the psychology of employees as they may resist the performance to adopt changes because
it may generate the feeling of job insecurity. Further, application of McKinsey 7S model benefit
the changing operations of Vauxhall Motors as it offer deep insights based on which organisation
can effectively understand external situation. Due to the detailed knowledge employees get the
direction to bring out transition and practice change significantly. On other side, as according to
this model all the factor and element are interrelated with one other so if the employees of
Vauxhall Motors fail in carry out one part then it can simultaneously affect other functioning as
well. Therefore, the manager need to maintain effective communication in order to promote the
transparency due to which personnel consider them as an valuable asset and maximise their
potential in terms to adopt the changes wisely (Mitchell, 2013).
2.2: Identify and justify the criteria to select and support a change implementation model and
will achieve the organisational change desired
While incorporating certain changes or implementing significant change model there are
certain criteria that need to be implement by top executive as it promote the inclusive
contribution. Basically these factors include group discussion method, performance appraisal,
setting standard as well as key performance indicator that help to analyse the performance of an
organisation and avoid the chances of deviation.
 Before incorporating any changes the manager carry out effective communication or
group discussion rounds with their employees (O'Donnell, 2016). This helps to transmit
vital information and maintain clarity amongst manpower in terms to perform their task
smoothly.
 The manager or leader of Vauxhall Motors evaluate the performance of their staff
accordingly individual contribution is acknowledged to maintain desirable performance.

Also this helps the employee to enlighten the areas where they need to put more efforts in
order to gain success by effective abiding changes.
 Standards in form of benchmarks are set that generate the zeal amongst workforce in
terms to adopt the changes and explicitly improve the performance. Herein, Vauxhall
Motors in terms to maintain existing and upcoming changes needs to set feasible standard
by associating monetary and non monetary benefits along with it.
 Key performance indicator led an organisation to constantly measure its performance
which is considered as an effective criteria in terms to bring out the changes and achieve
predetermine objective by carrying out diverse roles and activities associated with
changes successfully (Pollack, Costello and Sankaran, 2013).
TASK 3
3.1: Identify and demonstrate the use of analytical tools to monitor the progress and the effects of
change within your organization
In order to effectively monitor change within an organisation, it is essential for an entity
to undertake advantage of effective analytical tool in order to monitor change progress.
Mentioned below:
Flowchart:
With the help of this analytical tool organisation can effectively able to identify change at
various points. It allow manager to analyse progress of change. In addition to this with the
assistance of network mapping entity can evaluate process of change at every step and can
further undertake effective measures to control them within proper time line.
Force Field Analysis:
With the assistance of force field analysis analytical toll entity can effectively able to
access the forces that drive change (Shirokova, Berezinets and Shatalov, 2014). It further include
pragmatic and objective ones. Along with this it also involve change that are covered in
subjective one such as political and cultural. These changes are mainly dynamic in nature. Thus,
with the help of this tool organisation can identify current status of these changes.
Data Collection:
With the help of data collection method organisation can manage change with the
assistance of sensors, software and workflows. In addition with this, entity can also able to

identify impact of the changes that are affecting organisation in any manner. This will further
allow them to develop formative strategy through with change can be effectively managed.
As per the above mentioned report, it has been concluded that Vauxhall Motors by
undertaking advantage of all these analytical change management tool can effectively able to
measure changes and can further able to overcome the impact of these changes in a significant
manner.
3.2: Critically assess monitoring and measurement techniques used to measure and track change
within an organization
The objective of an organisation can be attained demonstrating the techniques or efforts
utilised to bring out change management. Application of metrics helps the business to prepare an
organisation in terms to achieve significant amount of business result. All this techniques in
context to Vauxhall Motors are critically analysed below:
Enterprises risk management techniques: As the organisation is rising business finds
some sort of risk while incorporating the operations in dynamics environment. As explicit
opportunity and threat exist in the external environment which makes it necessary for Vauxhall
Motors to understand the market carry out deep research and then formulate desirable actions.
Proper planning can positively help an enterprises in terms to promote the business of electric
cars (Smollan and Pio, 2017). On contrary, increase in immense competition amongst market and
strong presence of exiting player within electric cars like Tesla can negatively affect the
differentiation strategy of Vauxhall Motors.
Measurement of quality: The quality of product needs to be constantly measured
according to the changing policies or cultural factor. If the quality of the electric cars
manufactured by Vauxhall Motors are of supreme quality then it is not necessary that in near
future it does not require any type of alterations. So due to diverse factors like advancement in
technology and changing preferences of customer directly affect the production process of a
business entity (Thakhathi, le Roux and Davis, 2019). If the quality is regularly measure through
methods like benchmarking them it helps to avoid performance gap which can positively affect
the operations of Vauxhall Motors. On other side, this whole process require immense amount of
cost and acts as a burden on the capital of company which leads to financial pressure. Also the

employees require to invest their time in acquiring new skills which is time taking and can face
resistance from the side of employees.
3.3: Analyse and critically assess strategies to minimize the impact of adverse effects of change
in your organization
Indicators that help an organisation to mitigate the chances of adverse amount of risk
while incorporating changes within Vauxhall Motors. It is vital for the manager of Vauxhall
Motors to remain flexible and give priority to employees in terms to come forward and share
their valuable idea regarding changes (Waddell and et. al., 2019). This promote the interest of
overall workforce due to which they rather than neglect changes remain competitive in terms to
adopt changes and mitigate the changes of risk by following their new roles and responsibility
significantly. Along with that training and development session needs to be constantly provided
on regular basis as it enhances the capabilities and knowledge of employees. The competitive
team with the helps to problem solving skill effectively overcome the chances of risk.

organisation which needs to be adopted by the companies in terms to remain competitive and
perform their roles and responsibility suitably. This helps the firm to survive in the competitive
market due to which preferable change model which suitably fits the operations of entity needs
to be selected in order to significantly apply the favourable amount of changes. Diverse
technique of problem solving like brainstorming method needs to be implemented to undergo the
policies of changes by driving out innovative solution. Efforts needs to be taken to adopt
