Individual Assignment: Readiness to change
The only thing that remains unchanged is a change itself. Although cliché, this sentence explicitly illustrates the phenomena of constantly changing organisations.
As with organisational change, effective operations management professionals are continually making changes to operations strategies to incorporate new trends, concepts and tools for the benefit of organisations and customers alike. In the interest of sustaining new initiatives over competitors and providing ever-increasing value to consumers, operations management professionals must ensure that not only are their operations practices changed and adjusted to the external factors, but they should also account for their individual readiness to change.
