This stakeholder assessment task would involve the study of Northeast Calgary Women’s
Clinic in Calgary with regard to the adoption of a change in the form of the addition of a
new department for Old age care.
This not-for-profit health service unit started its operations in the year 2007, with a team of
multilingual female physicians focusing on the primary mission of delivering a holistic
health care solution and consultancies to the women population experiencing gender,
culture, and language barriers and are devoid of the facility of having a family doctor. They
envision delivering a committed, safe, comfortable and welcoming health facility unit to
the women patients of the Calgary region to address issues related to menstruation, fertility,

Self Reflection on the significance of the tool of assessment of stakeholders for
supporting the management in the implementation of organisational change
The importance of Stakeholder assessment is imperative to identify the end users of a novel
system at the initial stages of the change plan so that the degree of effect, the losses, as well
as the gains on the end users from adopting such a change, becomes visible to the
enterprise (Gray & Field, 2010). In the course of my employment as a Change Manager in
Northeast Calgary Women’s Clinic, the assessment of the stakeholders helped me gain
knowledge about their expectations, influences, resistances and support towards the change
which ultimately benefitted in strategizing, implementing and execution of the change plan
within the enterprise.
