Task This assessment addresses the process of change. Review critically the actual change model that has been used in the case you have chosen. Identify the political, economic, cultural and leadership factors that have influenced the implementation of this change. Go on to assess whether the change was successful.

Go on to recommend OD intervention(s), giving your reasons why. Evaluate the effectiveness of the new model against the one used by the organisation. Explain, and justify how you would institutionalise the change(s), once again, taking into account the political, economic, cultural and leadership factors previously discussed. N. B. You must include a minimum of twelve (12) academic citations and references.
