Transformation and Change Management for Strategic Leaders

Abstract

The objective of this work is to examine transformation strategy for strategic leaders and its impact on the organization and assess the importance for a change management methodology during the transformation process. Transformation presents a holistic and dramatic change when an organization reinvents and redesigns work for organizational performance. Change has become center stage to the transformation effort and success. Change management has become the focus in transformation strategy. Results of this study will conclude that any transformation effort without a competent change strategy is doomed to fail. Strategic leaders must plan, support, and provide the leadership to facilitate the change effort. Planning for change is imperative when constructing the transformation blueprint. There is no "best book" approach to change management that can be utilized for every transformation effort. Transformation is only as valuable to the extent that it helps the employees/soldiers do their work faster, more efficient, and deliver customer quality.
