What restraining forces are blocking the implementation of a change program?

1. What restraining forces are blocking the implementation of a change program? From an internal OD practitioner perspective, what recommendations can you make to overcome these barriers?

2. Apply ideas, concepts, theories, and practices set out in the course materials as appropriate to the specific organization that you have selected (Joann Fabrics).

3. Describe the change that needs to take place and discuss internal and external forces that represent obstacles to the change, supporting your opinion with appropriate citations. Describe the various kinds of data you would need to gather to confirm your diagnosis. What level of analysis (organization, group, or individual job) should be applied to this situation.

4. Create recommendations for a proposed solution. What do you believe would be an effective intervention? What forces could be harnessed to promote the change? Who should be included in the solutions implementation? What would be considered a success? What additional approaches could be considered? What steps would you take to implement the recommended solution? Be sure to present your findings objectively, without emotion.

Note: I have identified the issues in Joann Fabrics as this was my place of employment. I’m hoping you can build out the necessary steps as directed to remove these barriers. I would like for you to follow the Kotters Change Model. Please use this model in applying the recommended steps to effectively make the organizational change. Some referencing has been provided, as these are the references I normally use.
