2ORGANIZATION IMPROVEMENT
Introduction
The report is prepared to discuss about the issues faced by Neverthere College in United
Kingdom. The attendance monitoring system will be implemented by the end of September 2020
to ensure that the problems can be overcome and students will be provided with good quality
education and learning experience. The Lewin’s change management theory is used here to
determine the changes that will be implemented and how it can overcome the issues and
maintain stable business functioning. The Lewin’s change theory involves the various stages
including the unfreezing, changing and refreezing that can help to achieve the desired level of
behavior and manage proper functioning of Neverthere College, UK too (Almeida, Domingues
and Sampaio 2014). The change theory will not only transform the entire way of business
functioning but will also promote innovation, creativity and adapting to changes for sustaining in
the competitive marketplace. With the business procedures becoming adaptable to changes, it
would be easy to enhance the speed up time for managing the production and delivery,
furthermore provide services to the customers to ensure customer satisfaction as a whole.
Lewin’s change theory
The changes within organizations are considered as common aspects needed to improve
the business functioning regardless of the size, industry and age. With the changing business
environment and world, it has created necessity for the business organizations to change quickly
and survive within the competitive business environment properly. The Lewin’s change theory is
one of the major frameworks applied to bring changes in the nature of business as well as its
functioning (Clark, Silvester and Knowles 2013).

Unfreeze
At first, it is important for Neverthere College to prepare itself adaptable to the changes
and accept it by breaking down the issues and existing status quo to find out a new way of
operating within the industry. The main thing for developing the message or information could
be existing ways of doings that must not continue. One of the most convenient way is to
determine the issues faced by the company such as the lack of improper infrastructure, processes
and back dated procedures. The enrolment and entry grades are reduced and students remained
absent. During this stage, it was found that the college has 8000 students studying on A level,
4000 students taking subjects like English, Mathematics, etc. while vocational students are 3000
and 1000 students take professional courses including CIPD at level 7 (Waddell et al. 2016). The
numbers of staffs are 1000 including teachers, lecturers, individuals who manage seminars and
tutorials and others who manage the administrative procedures. The major issue emerges here
because the administration staffs input manual hand written paper based registers from the
teachers into the Excel spreadsheets on a monthly basis. The reports are provided to the senior
management team and are quite slow and ineffective. Thus, monitoring the attendance of the
students of Neverthere was quite difficult because of the manual hand written registers.
Communicating the senior management team is useful to make the staffs know about the changes
needed to be done and its effectiveness in monitoring the records and attendance of students
(Eason 2014).
Change
Once the people of Neverthere College are unfrozen, it would be easy to change and start
moving towards the right direction for adopting the changes. The College should move in the
new state of being through transition, learn new behaviors, processes, and promote creativity.
