Introduction
The change management as a procedure can be rightfully defined as the means
using which a change can be adequately carried out in an enterprise. In association with
this, it can be mentioned that, when the concept of change management can be
adequately applied to the business then in such a scenario, it can be agreed to it that, it
refers to the different transition phases which a business tends to undergo and the
change has to be used as a functioning, operational financial and the marketing aspect
of the business. The change management essentially involves the application of various
structured methods and a pre-planned framework with the help of which a business can
transit from its current state to the desired state. The primary application of the change
can be stated to be the increase of the business sales and the associated returns. In
consideration of this, the high competition and the fast paced world also acts as the
important initiative to undertake the change management procedure as a whole. In the
given report, the change management theories and the five disciplines or a method of
change will be applied (Hayes, 2018). The report presents an analysis of the various
team development aspects and the team theories which resulted in the overall benefit of
the associated changes.
Theory of five disciplines as a method of change
Peter Senge has also stated a number of theories with the help of which, the
procedure of the change management can be understood well. Hence, according to the
author, a number of theories have come forward which help in the application and
identification of the associated theories with the help of which, the change management
in the case of a learning organization ca be well understood. The learning organizations
can be described as organizations where the different individuals have been evolving to
a greater extent and in consideration of this, the people are continuously evolving to
perform adequately.

The rationale behind such an organizational concept can be susceptive to
changes and considerate initiatives and those organizations that are willing to engage in
a considerate change behavior are considered to be the ones who are following the
learning theories and associated initiatives. According to Senge et al. (1994), all
individuals have the capability to learn and they often tend to make use of considerate
tools and initiatives to engage in considerate success. The associated aspects of the
learning can be agreed to be the components of the learning such as the following:
 Systems thinking
 Personal mastery
 Mental models
 Building shared vision
 Team learning
The system thinking can be understood to be a concept whereby the different
individuals tend to use this theory as a concept of conceptual cornerstone. It infuses the
individuals into a body of practice. The system theory has been developed in a manner
such that the associated individuals are being able to comprehend the process as a
whole and examine the associated interrelationship which takes between the associated
parties. In this scenario, the relationship between the various parts has to be engaged in
and in association to this, the theory states that the key problems faced by the
enterprise is the simplicity frameworks being applied to the complex systems (Senge ,
1004). The people in the organizations simply tend to focus on certain aspects instead
of the whole and in association with this, when only certain parts are focused on then in
such a scenario, the firm can be viewed as a dynamic procedure. The argument here is
that a better system will generate better actions.
The theory tends to state that the experiences one learns are never actually applied
and hence, when a problem is faced, the ultimate focus needs to be on finding the
solutions with the help of which the problems can be dealt with and the change
procedure can be engaged in adequately (Sherwood, 2002). However, it needs to be
noted that the systems viewpoint is generally used as a long term view because it is

based on a method of feedback and delays. In consideration of this, it can be rightfully
stated that, the use of the system maps are usually made use of in order to ensure that
the change procedure can be carried out effectively.
In addition to this systems thinking principle, the other associated principles which
are present are the component technologies which target at the development of the
practices, the principles, guiding ideas and the insights as well. One of the most popular
theory or principle can be understood to be the Personal mastery.
The personal mastery is a discipline or a principle which stated that, an enterprise
must deepen the personal vision and adequately focus on the associated theories which
will assist in ensuring long term success. According to Mackey (1999), this theory goes
way beyond any competency or skill and seeks to see to it that the mastery proficiency
is present in a manner such that, the vision can be taken to be rather visionary and the
different individuals need to be in a continual learning mode. They are always evolving
and aiming to achieve their associated personal goals as well as the objectives.
The personal vision is holding the creative tension which recognizes the structural
tensions as well as the constraints which have to be abided by accordingly. The third
discipline is the mental models (Kalamas & Kalamas, 2004). In association with this, it
can be effectively stated that, there exist a considerate number of ingrained
assumptions, images and generalizations which tend to influence the manner in which
an individual tends to perform. People are often not aware of such associated concepts
but in the long run, the different individuals tend to think in this associated manner and
act as per these influences only.
According to Senge (1994), the discipline mental models tend to start with turning
the mirror inward, unearthing the internal pictures of the lobe and along with this
carrying out useful conversations and balance inquires and advocacy where the own
thinking has to be developed in a manner such that the firm will be able to engage in
associated relationships with others and their own self. In association with this, it is
effective to understand that, fostering openness is critical to success and critical to
ensuring that operations can be carried out in effective associations with these theories.
