Abstract

In this chapter, the strategic interventions in the area of transformational change are introduced. There are three broad categories within strategic interventions: transformational change; trans-organizational change; and continuous change. In this chapter, transformational change is assessed. ► Chapters 16 and 17 explore trans-organizational change and continuous change, respectively. Transformational change constitutes deep, fundamental change that disrupts the status quo, and sustains that change over a long period of time. Two types of transformational change interventions are discussed: organizational design (alignment of the structure, work design, human resources practices, and management and information systems) and culture change (altering the basic assumptions and values of the organization). Specifically, this chapter evaluates the importance and relevance of such interventions in the field and practice of OD. The key principles of organizational design and culture change are outlined and analysed. Finally, the challenges that emerge in the development and implementation of such change plans are critically evaluated.
