Introduction The purpose of this assignment is to firstly identify why there is a need to implement changes within an organisation and highlight any barriers that an organisation may encounter when implementing any changes before explaining how to overcome these barrier. It will also describe what techniques can be used to plan, monitor and review any potential changes. Finally the report will also consider the effects of change of the workforce within the organisation and why communication is vital before, during and after any changes. To help demonstrate different points and techniques I will refer to a specific example of innovation and change within a company which is planning on implementing a machine which is an automatic packaging system instead of a manual based packing system.

The sender and receiver of a communication have an important job to do; that is to be active participants in the communication by listening and responding to each
The author asserts changing the mindset is important because businesses often operate under the guise of fear; meaning the fear of losing a job, fear of not meeting a deadline, or fear of delivering substandard work.

This recognition will assist individuals in building workplace unification, decrease the struggles for authority, and to resolve conflict (Millan, 2012).
