Task : Change Management Consultation

You have been hired as a change management consultant for a manufacturing company. The leadership of the company currently uses a top-down management approach. The organizational structure is a hierarchy (pyramid type). Employees are not encouraged to be creative or make suggestions or decisions. They are also not encouraged to experiment and come up with new solutions to problems.

The company has grown rapidly over the past decade, from generating $1 million in sales to $100 million. In the past year, the company expanded its business internationally and now has 500 employees worldwide. Due to the rapid growth of the company, the organization has not invested in training and development opportunities for its employees to drive innovation and process improvements. Additionally, the company’s processes and software systems for inventory management have become antiquated.

As the change management consultant, you will provide a report for the executive leadership team where you diagnose the need for change and explain how to plan for change, how to implement change, and how to sustain change. You will also explain how the company can transition to a learning organization in order to be on the forefront of change and innovation.

OK so my question based on the scenario above is how do I discuss the need for change for the company in the scenario using the systems contingency model and build the Systems Contingency Model? I have the template, but I don't understand from the information above what even goes into it and I read the chapter 2 times now - can you help me? I do not see any referenced models out there or maybe I am missing something - please point me in the correct direction and I can build it. I just am very confused.
