Systematic change

Systematic change is a long-term strategy that changes the organization’s culture and the attitudes and values of employees with the ongoing goal of reducing costs and enhancing quality. By its very nature, this strategy takes considerable time to implement. The thrust of the strategy is to consider downsizing as an evolutionary part of an organization’s life with the goal of continuous improvement- employees assume responsibility for cutting costs and searching for improved methods and practices. Because of he human and financial commitment to this strategy, the impact on the organization’s bottom line is rarely immediate, and, consequently, the approach is less than appealing to firms that focus on short-term profits or budget goals.
