 Managing organizational change is
the process of planning and
implementing change in organizations in
such a way as to minimize employee
resistance and cost to
the organization while simultaneously
maximizing the effectiveness of
the change effort.
 Change management in education is
the process of adequately preparing an
organization for the upcoming change,
creating an implementation plan for
leading change in schools, and
implementing the change.
The Two types of organizational change
 Evolutionary change gradual, intermittent, and
narrowly-focused. Its main purpose is to make continuous
improvement in order to adjust to the environment changes

 Revolutionary change on the other and is rapid,

dramatic, and broadly focused. It often happens when the
current operation method can no longer fulfill the demand of
the external environment, and a significant change has to be
made in a short period of time to keep the organization work.
THE IMPORTANCE OF ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE IN
ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS SCHOOLS

Organizational change is a fundamental

strategy for ensuring that a public organization
remains relevant in a changing environment. An
organization that is able to manage change well
will maintain its productivity and relevance over
time. Here under are some of the reasons why
organizational change is important in
organizations such as schools:
 Performance Gaps

Organizational change in organizations such

as schools is importantbecause of the
presence of performance gaps. This is where
the organization's goals andobjectives are not
being met or other organizational needs are
not being satisfied.
 Crisis

Another factor that brings the importance

of Organizational change is Crisis. Change
becomes a necessity when an organization
finds itself in a crisis. It helps it rectify some
of its processes or activities that may have
become ineffective.
 Reaction to Internal & External Pressure

Organizational change is very important in

meetingor addressing the external or internal
pressure. The management and employees,
particularly those in organized unions often exert
pressure for change.
 New Technology and Technological
Advancement

Technology is changing at a very high

speed, in order to keep the pace of the changing
technology, It’s important for the institutions and
organizations to go with this pace. Identification of new
technology and more efficient and economical methods to
perform work can trigger organizational change.
 Poor performance

Another related factor to the above is poor

performance. An organization such as a school might
not be performing well in the execution of the its
activities, which might
threaten the chance of meeting the goals and
objectives.
 Maintenance of organizational culture

Organizational change is very important at

keeping the organizational culture. This happens
when there are some issues in the institutions that
are threatening the institution culture.
 Identification of Opportunities

In educational setting it can still be discussed.

This is where according to the changing
environment and the changing needs of the time,
a school may see an opportunity in such
situations.
