MBA 755 – Reflections on Module 6 Concepts.

What is it that appears to make implementation of a renewal strategy so difficult?

Implementation for the renewal strategy may be difficult because of uknown factors and risks.

Which of the identified implementation pitfalls have you observed in your own experience with organizations?

The lack of the ability of people implementing the strategy is a pitfall. It has been my experience if the leader does not have the necessary bandwith to implement the strategy they are far less effective.

How did the pitfalls impact the overall outcome of the change implementation?

The pitfall of a change in leadership were detrimental to the success of our business. The change of leadership without the ability to sustain the business created a huge loss in shareholder value and our lead in the game.

What elements of the implementation process seem particularly relevant to your own experience?

Elements of the implementation process that seems relevant to my own experience is trends and patterns. This seems particularly important becuase it gives you an idea of the market to predict future profitablity and demand.


How does communication fit into implementation planning?
Communicaiton is key along with collaboration. As a leader if you must be able to communicate effectively to motivate and increase performance.

Which aspects of change theory seem particularly useful during renewal implementation? Why do you think so?

I would say one key aspect of the change theory is the current situation. A situational analysis helps to identify indicators to tell us what is working or not longer working. This also allows you look at what is going in internally and which part of the operations may need renewal. If you have a full understanding of what the current situation it is you are better prepared to work on areas that need attention.

What could you do differently as a result of your learning in implementing a change in your own organization?

I would look closely at how I could expand the strenghts of the business. This of course would go hand in hand with looking at what opportunities that may arise from the current situtation of the business.
