1. SmallSoft
Ltd is a technology giant which over the years had built a huge organization,
servicing customers globally. Started by a visionary founder, the
organization’s products had almost a monopolistic control over the markets they
operated in. However, the last decade saw them being taken over by smaller,
more agile organizations. The Board
realized that the current way of
working would not help them retain their growth or their profitability and
hence they decided to go in for a changed strategy. A new CEO was brought in,
who quickly realized that the organization was stuck in the past ways of doing
business and that its vision and mission were now redundant in the current
technology scenario. Also, the teams were working in silos and the company
structure needed to be integrated.
The CEO called you, the Head-HR to
discuss this. She has asked your help as the Head HR help transform the company
and drive this change. You recommend that the company follow Kotter’s 8-step
model to drive this change.
Detail out the steps to be followed
for Change Management as per Kotter’s 8-step model, adding on any specific
points mentioned in the case.

3. Funky TV is a music television
channel that is very popular amongst youngsters. It is considered a fun channel
and has a great brand recall value, but due to high content costs and other
expenses, it is not very profitable. The channel is successful because of the
new formats and interesting ideas it keeps introducing regularly on air.
The employees are mostly in the age
group of 22-30. There are a few other employees from older age groups as well.
The company prides itself on being a Crazy and Cool
workplace. Each employee at the time
of joining is given decorating material and lots of colorful paper to help them
decorate their workplace. This is an open office layout. All employees
including the senior management sit in the same area and there are small
meeting rooms for people who wish to have a quiet conversation.
Every evening at 6 pm, one employee
is randomly selected by draw of lots and gets to choose a playlist to play on
the public address system. There is no dress code and employees are inspired to
discover their individual style.
The employees are encouraged to speak
their mind, share their ideas and disagreements are considered healthy.
Managers avoid taking unilateral decisions and prefer to have a consensus-based
approach.
The culture is also such that it
attracts talented people from across all walks of life. The current channel
programming in charge was a professor of physics before he joined the channel.
Though the company faces stiff
competition in the music television space and is not the best paymaster, it
still has low levels of attrition.
