Fostering the capacity to implement genuine change is increasingly important as competition becomes global. Research across sectors suggests that the failure rate of change initiatives- reengineering projects, mergers and acquisitions, implementation of strategic plans and of IT systems-is a shocking 70%. Interestingly, the most commonly cited reason determining the success or failure of change initiatives is people. Why you might ask? Because when people are not adequately engaged with change, they resist it tooth and nail. On the other hand, when people identify and let go of what must be left behind and, then, build meaning and reach out for what is new, they become capable of initiating and generating sustainable change.

E.  Knowledge And Skills Activities

 

   When : Saturday, March 19, 2011

    What: Proud to Play Like a Girl – Mini Basketball Camp

   Time: 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.

    Location: Ridgeway Baptist Church/2500 Ridgeway Rd./Memphis

                     Manila.

    Leader: Normie P. Ferrer

 

 

There is very little fundamental basketball training for girls in the primary grades. This is the age when kids are most impressionable and open for development. By providing basketball camps and clinics, our goal is to increase the awareness of girl’s basketball through‐out Memphis and surrounding areas with the hopes of boosting self-esteem and contributing to a healthy lifestyle. The Helen Darling Camps are designed to increase the involvement and consistency of young girls in the game of basketball.

Darling too, grew up with limited opportunity for all girls’ camps, tournaments, and league. However, in 1996, Darling landed a basketball scholarship to Penn State University where she was the first player in school history to earn the Big Ten Player of the Year award. As a college player, she also won the Naismith Award; the Kodak All‐ American; and was a member of the All‐Big Ten teams, receiving recognition as Big Ten Tournament MVP in 2000.

Darling is now a 10-year veteran for the WNBA having played for the Cleveland Rockers for four years, Minnesota Lynx for 1 year, Charlotte Sting for 2 years, and landing in San Antonio with the Silver Stars for 4 years. She currently plays point guard, a position that allows her to utilize her leadership skills.

It has been such a pleasure to walk into a gym and see little girls of all talents competing in the wonderful game of basketball. It is our desire to create more basketball opportunities for young girls.

ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE

CASE FOR ANALYSIS: BAYER’S MAJOR CHANGES IN ONE PLANT

Discussion Question:

What type of change[s] occurred at Bayer?

    The plant had change ownership three times and the work force seemed to have dissolved as fast as the analgesic tablets rolling off production lines down from 800 to 360 workers in less than a year . That was a lot of change to absorb in a facility that had been steadily producing over-the-counter and prescription pharmaceuticals for more than half a century.

What type of employee resistance to change did Bayer have to address?

    Resistance to change can be overcome by acknowledging not only the business rationale for change but also the hopes, fears and dreams of those affected, noted the change management experts at Sibson & Co,. In the race to make change happen, organizational leaders often fail to tell the straight story to people who then write their best scripts.


What are the positive and negative lessons learned from how change was handled at Bayer?

   POSITIVE LESSON:
The positive lesson I think, was when the managers listened to what everyone had to say, treated the employees’ equals and really valued their opinions.
In the case of the positive lesson for the employees, Employees needed to be involved at the heart of any turnaround.  And communication was so important in getting and receiving information about on site performance, department projects, and rumors.

  NEGATIVE LESSON:
I think nothing negative lesson found in the case for analysis, because they were all realize their failure and learned from their mistakes.
