Assignment 1 : Dyad Group Case Study Paper Change Management

Reflection on your experience participating in change management sessions delivered and discussed in English.

We would write the reflections based on two points. First, our reflection on following the English class. And second is the change management lesson itself. We make this pattern because Change Mangement class delivered in English give us so many reflections. We would like to arrange all of the reflections by a pattern. Following the English class and change management itself give us some different impact. By following English class, we got two important things : A. Awareness about the Importance of English Since having several subjects in Wijawiyata Manajemen program on September 2011, we faced a lot of English material, either an English book or URLs. But no one subject forced us to talk in English. Until Change Management did it. After having the Change Management first meeting, we realize that English is a very important thing to be mastered. English will help us to communicate with others abroad and let our mind opened. We also realize that English isnt such an order winners (those competitive characteristics that cause a firms customers to choose that firms goods and services over thoe of its competitors) thing anymore. We couldnt hope that we will be the best by mastering English. English is becoming an order qualifier (those competitive characteristics that a firm mst exhibit to be a viable competitor in the marketplace) thing. It is a must-to-bemastered thing. B. Encouragement to Improve After realizing that English is very important, we were encouraged to improve our English skills. We try so hard to make a question with a perfect sentence in the class. We also try so hard to understand case by case in-depth. Several ways to improve our English skills showed up on our mind. Just like having an English discussion with friends, reading more English book, do our task in English, and so on. We do believe that there are a lot of chances and facilities here. All we have to do is just utilize it. Why dont we? After realizing that English is very important, and having an encouragement in improving English skills, we are thinking about creating a way to learn English effectively. And the change management lesson, we got two important things : A. Admiring The Kotters Eight-Stage Process. Change management entails thoughtful planning and sensitive implementation, and above all, consultation with, and involvement of, the people affected by the changes. If you force change on people normally problems arise. Change must be realistic, achievable and measurable. These aspects are especially relevant to managing personal change. Before starting organizational change, ask yourself: What do we want to achieve with this change, why, and how will we know that the change has been achieved? Who is affected by this change, and how will they react to it? How much of this change can we achieve ourselves, and what parts of the change do we need help with? These aspects also relate strongly to the management of personal as well as organizational change.

In this regard, Kotter taught us how an organization can be changed through The Kotters Eight-Stage Process. This 8 stages is a unity of function and can not be separated or also changed the order. Eight-stages used by agent of change to implemented gradually the Change Managenet in their organization. Dr. Kotter has proven over his years of research that following The 8-Step Process for Leading Change will help organizations succeed in an ever-changing world. B. Trying to develop my self using Change Management concept. One of the goals in the Change management is an ongoing change. It's also an inspiration for me to be able to make changes in myself. Has become a common thing when we make changes in ourselves it is likely only temporary, in which the changes apply only for a moment. Unlike the case with the concept of Change Management is done through Kotter's 8 Stages Process, where the finalization of the process is to make it as a cultural change.. Hopefuly , by following the 8-Step Process outlined by Dr. Kotter, I can avoid failure and become adept at change. By improving my ability to change, the competences can increased and being my strength for both today and in the future.

2. How to plan, execute and evaluate a change inervention involving a workshop/applied training which will be deliver in English.
The answer of question why couldnt we speak English fluently is that we dont constrained to do that. People who live abroad, they dont have any choice except try hard to master the language there. So, if we want to improve our English skills, there is no other way except make it to be forced. Before talking about change intervention on improving our English skills, we would like to talk about three main points on leading change. Kotters eight step is the basis of those three points. The three points are : Defrost a Hardened Status Quo Introduce Many New Practices Grounds the Changes in the Corporate Culture

Before making a program in leading change, we should make some attempt to defrost a hardened status quo. This is a very important thing to do. Unfortunately, many people do mistakes on this step. They allow too much complacency, fail to create a sufficiently powerful guiding coalition, underestimate the power of vision, or undercommunicating the vision (Kotter, 1996). In this case, several ways can be done to defrost a hardened status quo. Like an English seminar, English lecture, or by speech, explaining that student have to master English, for every interest they would develop. After that, we will introduce several new practices that will be explained later. New practices will improve students English skill. But it wont mean anything if it dont grounded in the class culture. Every member of the class must keep those changes as a habit. So when the program ended, they wont back to the old habit.

English Lecture
To improve our English skills, we need to have a major lecture delivered in English (English class). Because by following an English class, we dont have any choice except trying hard to understand the lesson. And because the participation level also assessed, we also have to speak out in class, in English of course. This class needs a more patient lecturer. Because not all students speak English fluently. So, the lecturer have to guide them slowly. PERIODE : During the WM program (1 English Class per Block, ie: Marketing Management at Core Block)
