CHANGE MANAGEMENT 2

Change Management

The social media dilemma is a captivating and informative documentary that indicate the

adverse psychological effect of social media platforms on users. The social media (SM) is tearing

the social fabric of the society apart due to its firm grasp on attention. People are increasingly

sacrificing meaningful relationships with their love ones to be connected to the rest of the world.

Teenagers tend to be more vulnerable to SM networks such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat.

They are highly influenced by these platforms. Research findings indicate the use of social media

among teenagers contributes to increasing rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide. Therefore,

there is needed to develop digital systems with minimal psychological effect on users.

Embracing the principle of change management can assist in creating humane technology. Tech

giants should embrace change by focusing on respecting the attention of users, their privacy and

free will.

Change management (CM) models are used to describe and simplify a process to

facilitate the application of the principles and enable individuals to understand them easily.

Several CM models can assist in resolving the problems associated with the negative impact of

technology. These models are Lewin’s Model, the McKinsey 7-S Model and the Kotter’s 8 Step

(Cameron & Green, 2015). Lewin’s model state that most individuals prefer working within

zones that they perceive to be safe. The model proposes three stages of change that include

unfreezing, transitioning and refreezing. Unfreezing entails motivating individuals to embrace

change. It can assist in overcoming the resistance to change (Hornstein, 2015). Once initiation of

change has been made, then an organization proceeds into a period of transition. Strong

leadership is vital during the period of transition to reassure an organization on the path towards

success. Refreezing is done after a change has been accepted and successfully implemented.
