- Title
Intervention and Organizational Change: Building Organizational Change Capacity.
- Authors
Buono, Anthony F.; Kerber, Kenneth W.
- Abstract
Although many organizations are faced with the challenge of adapting to rapidly changing, often unpredictable environments, the underlying conception of the change process remains relatively simplistic in nature. The paper explores the need for a diagnostic orientation to conceptualizing and implementing change and the concomitant challenge of building organizational change capacity. Emphasis is placed on an intervention strategy focused on the: 1) micro- (understanding and acceptance of different approaches to change; enhancing willingness and ability to change); 2) meso-(creating a change facilitative infrastructure, ensuring appropriate resources); and 3) macro-(building a facilitative culture, ongoing strategizing) levels of an organization. A brief case study is used to illustrate this approach.
