Force field analysis
The change is that the company mainly needs the technological advancements.
The technological change to be brought about is the development of new operating system like online booking system.Organizational change is of utmost importance in order to make sure that the overall working and the overall operations of the organization are being maintained in a proper way. It is because of the fact that if the company has to survive the tough competition in this current 21st century then they will have to take up many different kinds of strategies so that they are able to identify the different areas of competition and then be able to deal with the different kinds of threats that are actually coming up in their ways, In order to make sure that the company is able to function well. Great Food Halls managing will have to carry on an in depth company audit (Baloh, Zhu and Ward 2018). This will enable them to see if the employees are happy or are they suffering from any kinds of issues.
This can be done by conducting some kinds of one to one meeting sessions or some kinds of group discussion sessions so that the employees are able to talk about their issues without suffering from any kinds of hesitations. Therefore the managers must try their level best to hire the change management professions and the change management experts so that they will be able to bring about many different kinds of chances or strategies in order to deal with the same and also be able to give a very employee friendly atmosphere.
The change that needs to be brought is to make sure that the employees are not suffering from any kinds of insecurities and also to make sure that all the employees are being given the needed training and development facility so that they can actually work towards the overcoming of their sill gaps There are many customers who are in the remote locations or in the International and Global locations.

The force field analysis model is being conducted so that the managers are able to understand all the forces that are in favor of making the change and also the ones that are against of making then change.

Forces in favor of change |
Forces against the change |

Loss of job insecurity among existing employees Employees might suffer from this feeling that they will not be able to keep pace with the newly recruited employees and thus they will suffer from the job insecurity. Staff frightened of the new technology It is because of this reason that the management must try their level best to train their employees and also make sure that they are not suffering from any kinds of fear or any kinds of tensions. |
Measures to minimize negative impacts
Mandelow’s Power Interest Grid
Among all these the company Great Food Halls will be placing their stakeholders in the first grid that is the Low power, less interested people (Monitor). This is because of the fact that the company will have to keep their stakeholders fully engaged in the work and also enable them to give in all the possible efforts so that they can contribute towards the overall production and the maximization of the overall output of the organization.
|
Step 1: Create Urgency |
This will enable in understanding about the actual needs for the change and the ways in which the employees can actually contribute towards the change. |
|
Step 2: Form a Powerful Coalition |
The change managing officials must always try to make sure that they are not imposing any change but taking the opinions and the views of all the employees. |
|
Step 3: Create a Vision for Change |
The managers or the change management officials must always try their level best to bring about the change and make sure that they are following the same examples that they are setting in front of their employees. |
|
Step 4: Communicate the Vision |
A horizontal communication system must be carried on all dependents set ups so that the managers and the employees are able to interact and talk with each other (Rempe et al. 2017). This will enable the employees to take part in all the decision making process and also be able to make sure that their opinions are being taken into account. |
|
Step 5: Remove Obstacles |
The change structure must be studied and analyzed at every single point of time so that the managers are being able to understand about the different issues that might be faced by the employees and also the ways in which the company can work towards overcoming the same |
|
Step 6: Create Short-Term Wins |
The managers will have to able sure that employees in the great Food halls are being able to engage themselves in maintaining the short term and the immediate goals like machine learning, electronic handling, customer responsive and other such aspects. |
|
Step 7: Build on the Change |
. The managers must make sure that they are not declaring the victory too soon. In order to make sure that the employees are contributing towards the overall success and the change management process for a long time they will have to make sure that they are keeping the employees involved. |
|
Step 8: Anchor the Changes in Corporate Culture |
regular feedback from the employees and the customers in order to know if the change management strategy has been implemented in the proper manner and if the employees are actually being benefitted from the changes. |
The measures will be as follows-
At team and individual levels:
? Use Kbler-Ross Transition (Grief) Cycle,
At the individual and the team level, there must be some or the other strategies that must be used in order to make sure that they must be able to get the timely help. The different states of the cycle are
One of the forces for change is the increased need for products among customers-
Customers are looking for some extra additional services. It is for this reason that the online shopping concept has developed at a very rapid rate. In order to make sure that the employees are not facing any issue in this aspect. It is for this reason that leaders will have to use the transformational approach (Wiener et al 2019). This approach will help them to provide a proper and uninterrupted support to all their employees so that the employees are able to take part in all the training and developmental facilities and be able to learn the art of handling the orders and the bookings on the online or the electronic media platforms. Customers in the modern day scenario are conscious and are looking for those items that will provide them some or the other health benefits. It is for this reason that Great Food Halls must collaborate with the local farmers and get the fresh products in their manufacturing process so that they can supply newer and fresh organic items to their customers.
Transformational leadership will be suitable as this will motivate all the employees to take part in the decision a making process and know that they are be helped by the managers at every single aspect.
There will be provisions for internal trainings as well so that the employees are able to get an on job training and there is less expense. The maintenance cost will also be reduced as the company will not have to hire any external experts or trainers.
(LO3)6. Evaluate the effectiveness of different leadership approaches in change management with a range of illustrated examples.
Transformational leadership will help in strengthening the communication ability of the employees. Open and horizontal communication system is of utmost importance in the oath of a successful change management process. This is because of the fact that the employees who are working in the Great Food Halls might feel that their job is at stake as the newly recruited employees will be well advances in the art of internet handling and also handling the modern methods of internet handling system and also the different ways in which they will be able to speed up the overall output of the organization (Müller et al 2018).
However if the leaders are following the transformational leadership system then they will be carrying on a prier open ended horizontal communication system and this will be helping the employees in narrating all the issues that they are going through and also they will be able to become a part of the overall business decision making process and then they will be able to make sure that they are being heard rather than being neglected (Baloh, Zhu and Ward 2018). Therefore this attitude will be very helpful in order to take the change management process to a success and the employees will be able to keep a proper track of all the different decision that are being taken in the whole business decisions process.
Use 2 theories: (Situational) and (Transformational). One from each group, they are complementary
The situational theory is very useful in this aspect because leaders or the change management officials will have to take up the right strategy at the right time so that the employees are getting the timely support. As the situation demands for the online services, the organization has to work very hard to keep pace with the situation and be able to make sure that the employees are getting proper training and development facilities. The managers must make it a point to conduct regular meetings with all the employees to make sure that they are taking into account the opinions and feedbacks.
As per situational theory the leaders might have to change their nature or their strategies as per the demand of the situation and also make sure that they are being able to somehow provide the needed support and make sure that the employees are not suffering in any way. For an example, customers who are tech savvy in nature will go for digital platforms for shopping. Therefore Great Food Halls will try to focus on the online digitalized platforms in order to cater to the changing needs and demands of the customers.
Describe (Situational) is suitable for change at team / unit level, where the change is clear, well defined, and mainly about implementation of actions.
The situational theory of leadership is very useful because employees are usually very vulnerable and also suffer from different kinds of fear and uncertainty during the ongoing process of change management process. For an in instance if the managers are of a very calm and quite nature but if they see that the employees are taking the undue advantage of the calm and quite nature of their managers then they will have to make sure that they are being able to bring about some or the other kinds of strictness in order to make their employees disciplines (Harmon 2019). This will enable the employees to be able to make sure that employees are being made to abide by the rules.
For an instance if the employees are becoming in disciplined and are bunking their working hours by spending time over other aspects during shift hours the leaders will have to use their strategy. They will have to use the methods of imposing some very strict penalties on the employees so that they can take it as a punishment and are able to somehow abide by the company rules and regulations and are able to manage all the rules and the polices that they have to in order to make the change a successful attempt.
Describe (Transformational) is suitable at organizational level, changing strategy for use at senior or top management level. Where the change is undefined, full of uncertainties and large scale.
Transformational leadership strategy is very useful because the managers or the change management professions will be able to bring about some significant changes so that the employees are able to follow the change strategy and then be able to abide by the same in the coming days (Kotlar and Chrisman 2019). It is suitable to use this approach because this will help in providing constant support to the employees.
Employee will be able to follow the footsteps of their leaders and will be given the right to participate in the company decision making process.
There are often some disputes among the top level management and the employees. Employees feel that they will not be able to carry on with their message or convey their ideas and their opinions to the managers. In such cases it is the duty or the responsibility of the managers to make sure that they are able to set some very bright examples by following the same examples that they are setting in front of their employees (Young and McDowell 2018).
This can be done if the managers themselves are taking part in the workshops and the training and development session in order to make their employees know that they are not alone and that they are constantly being supported by their managers and their senior. This is useful as this helps the employees to know that they are being able to get thee timely help and support from their manager and then are being able to contribute proactively to the different changes that are being brought about in the organization.
Conclusion
Therefore it can be concluded that the organization has to follow both an employee centric and customer centric approach. The company must take the regular feedback and the opinions from all the employees to know if they are facing any kinds of issues. An employee friendly work environment will be very effective for the company to carry on with their business activities in a sound manner.
