Why do you believe that Alan is having a difficult time recognizing the change proposed by Reham?

Change is never an easy process. For years, researchers and theorists have attempted to develop frameworks for change to help individuals accept the need for change. Consider the scenario below about change in a large organization. Then, answer the associated questions related to organizational change.

Due to the impact of COVID-19, a large manufacturing company recognizes that organizational culture changes are necessary. Furthermore, process related changes must occur. The organization has experienced a decline in sales from early 2020 to present and recognizes that if changes are not made, many issues may arise. Reham, the CEO of the company, recognizes that organizational changes are needed.

Reham has proposed that the company reduce the size of the workforce by 20% until sales increase. The organization currently employs many full-time manufacturing employees, but only employs a handful of office workers. To further market the products provided by the company, many office workers are working 10-20 hours of overtime, per week, to assist with marketing efforts. Needless to say, office personnel are very overwhelmed with tasks and responsibilities.

At a three-hour meeting, Reham noted that a 20% reduction among manufacturing employees would be made within the next month. She then went on to state that three new positions would be added to the home office to ensure that the workload was not as intense for office personnel.

During the meeting, many individuals recognized Reham’s point and said that they would support her decision to make these workforce changes. Unfortunately, Reham’s colleague, Alan (the Director of Manufacturing), became furious about this change and mentioned that he did not understand why Reham was trying to ruin the company’s culture.

Based on the scenario above, answer the following questions:

Why do you believe that Alan is having a difficult time recognizing the change proposed by Reham?
What are the implications associated with Alan, the Director of Manufacturing, not supporting this change initiative?
Although Reham is the CEO, and has ultimate authority, how might obtaining additional feedback from other organizational leaders assist Alan in further understanding the rationale for this change?
Before Reham pushes this change forward, what short-term and long-term impacts should she consider?

Scenario Development and Cross Impact Analysis

Aim:

To create and analyse scenarios to explore possible future requirements

(Remember, Scenarios are not about prediction, as the latter has been shown to be highly unreliable. Scenarios provide an important description of what might occur and not what will happen.)

Requirements:A completed scenarios template (Part 1)A presentation of 10 slides with audio narration (Part 1)A transcript of the presentation narration (Part 1)Support documents for the presentation (evidences of the scenarios and scenario template to be organized and written with reference in a separate paper) (Part 1)A 1,500-word report (references) (Part 2)

Make sure to: (Assignment MUST cover the below)

Part One: Scenarios Development

This first part of the assessment requires you to develop two scenarios. This development process should closely follow the guidelines given in the course materials and MUST contain the following elements:A clear statement of the focus of interest for the scenario. A good way to think about this will be to focus on the concerns of a particular industry or organisation.There MUST be a clear time set for the scenario, for example, 2030.At least five inevitable to be present in both scenarios.At least five dynamic trends to develop at different paces in each scenario.At least three critical uncertainties to be created in the form of a question with two answers.A scenario story that links all the factors together along a coherent timeline.

Using the inevitable, dynamic trends and critical uncertainties developed in the course activities, you are to:

1-Further develop and finalise two scenarios using your completed scenario development template. You might also like to consider the inclusion of wild cards but remember to keep them credible and relevant to make them useful to your later impact analysis. (It is important that you have sufficient evidence to support your scenarios to enhance their believability.)

2- Create presentation of your scenarios:

A-Highlighting the key issues and exploring the various avenues. Your presentation MUST contain 10 slides and be accompanied by a voice over narration (70 % of the presentation)

B- Differentiate between scenarios and predictions or forecasts (10 % of the presentation)

C- Describe how scenario planning approaches can be applied to strategic management problems (10 % of the presentation)

D- Articulate what parts of the process distinguish scenario planning from other approaches to planning (10 % of the presentation)

When you submit your presentation for assessment, you should include all support material used in the presentation along with any appropriate support notes.

Part Two: Cross Impact Analysis

Using your scenarios, you MUST:

-develop an analysis of the key attributes, capabilities and competencies needed by the organisation, or industry of your choice; this may or may not be within your current employment role or one you have previously held.

It is an Important also to include and show the below in this report:
