Lesson 5: The Learning organisation
\n<\/h2>\n

Internal vs. External Change Agents
\n<\/h3>\n

Organisations can appoint change agents both from within or outside the organisation<\/h5>\n

An internal change
\n<\/h3>\n

Agent is usually a team member such as a manager, senior executive, leader, HR professional, or another team member who understands organization development, behavioral sciences, and human intervention<\/h5>\n
A noteworthy aspect here is that internal change agents are aware of the organization’s history of change<\/h5>\n
initiatives and social politics and will work diligently to establish strong relationships to strengthen attitudes and cultural views towards change — even after the implementation process is complete<\/h5>\n
However, if an organization lacks an internal employee with change management skills, organizations must opt for external change agents to support their initiative<\/h5>\n
Though external change agents provide a fresh perspective, their presence can threaten the existing employees, and their appointment can add a costly expense for lengthy change implementations<\/h5>\n

An external change
\n<\/h3>\n

agent is an outside consultant or third-party change practitioner with relevant expertise to drive change initiatives. Company rules, regulations, and policies do not apply to them, allowing them to deeply analyze varied scenarios and suggest suitable change management models and strategies that help prevent change failures.<\/h5>","protected":false},"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","class_list":["post-40659","lesson","type-lesson","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nLesson 5: Internal vs. External Change Agents -
