According to Galbraith (2005), leading strategic change in the organization requires the management to evaluate crucial factors, such as barriers to effective change management. Change resistance attitudes among the employees could contribute to poor change management. Hence, due to the increased competition of delivering exceptional services to clients, managers should identify practical action plans to launch the identified change. Proper planning on the change processes is vital since it shapes the management’s direction to achieve a successful change process. The strategic planning models that could be implemented in designing a practical change process are the issue-based framework and the alignment model.
