Critical Thinking Assignment: Mutual Engagement
The turbulent nature of the business environment dictates that organizations must adapt or get wiped out. Today, the business world is changing rapidly, with significant changes in customer trends, technology, and the economy. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many organizations scaled down on their operations, recorded losses, and retrenched some of their workforces. Regardless of the circumstance, businesses must equip themselves with solutions if unforeseen challenges may require change. To successfully implement the changes, business entities need commitment and engagement from all their stakeholders. It is critical to mutual engagement and diagnosis while making the right choice of appropriate organizational framework. This assignment aims to choose an organization and apply one type of change management framework that applies to it and shapes its mutual engagement and shared diagnosis. The chosen business is the Hyatt Hotel Corporation (HHC), while the change model is ADKAR.
The hospitality industry is among the worst hit by the COVID pandemic. While there’s little to be done being that leisure and travel and partially limited, hotels must find a method of coping with the challenge until normalcy is restored. The Hyatt Hotel Corporation was not spared either. While the company's mantra remains to care for people, the company felt the pandemic's impact. Reduced revenues and profits and a generally tough business environment are some of its core challenges.
