Instruction

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Part 1: Changing the Status Quo from the course textbookThe Greenhouse Approach: Cultivating Intrapreneurship in Companies and Organizations. Additionally, read about John Kotters eight-step method for implementing change on the webpage
8 Step Process(Links to an external site.)

.Pay attention to the material offered about principles versus rules.
As a matter of course, we all encounter rules that govern our actions in our business environment. We are accustomed to rules and more or less follow them and seldom seriously question them. Following rules provides stability and predictability; however, rules can potentially stifle innovation. When, for example, core competencies become core rigidities, innovation halts and stagnation flourishes.
After retrieving and reading the information about the eight-step method and reading the information in the assigned textbook (emphasis on the material about principles versus rules), do the following:
Assess Kotters proposed method as principles used to guide actions. Is Kotters method flexible enough to develop effective change management procedures across several cultures or is it specific to the point that there seems to be only one way to manage change? For example, is there only one way to create a sense of urgency?
Estimate the level of effort it might take to transition from a rules-based environment to a principle-informing-rules environment. What are two major obstacles that might be encountered?
Offer a link to a video or an article that provides additional information about principles informing rules, as well as effective change management procedures. Week 1 – Discussion Forum 1

Instruction

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Part 1: Changing the Status Quo from the course textbookThe Greenhouse Approach: Cultivating Intrapreneurship in Companies and Organizations.Additionally, read the following articles
The Irrational Side of Change Management(Links to an external site.)and
1 Reason Why Most Change Management Efforts Fail(Links to an external site.). Note the reference to the estimated 70% failure rate for change.
Next, reflect on the following observation by Niccolo Machiavelli:
It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones. -The Prince

Intrapreneurs are change agents and initiate outward change (products and services) and inward change (policies, procedures, technology). Assess the information in the above articles and Part 1 of the course textbook and then do the following:
Determine the environment needed for beneficial intrapreneurial activities. Do this by devising a minimum of three principles you feel are the foundation for a beneficial intrapreneurial environment.
The two articles offered above suggest there is an estimated 70% failure rate for organization change implementation efforts. Based on what you know about intrapreneurial activities, defend the use of nimble change management techniques to reduce the estimated 70% failure rate previously mentioned.
Offer a link to a video or an article that provides additional information about intrapreneurs as change agents, as well as effective change management procedures. Week 1 – Discussion Forum 2
