Abstract
The paper explains that managing change is the process of enlisting support, providing direction, and implementing a given change in an organization. The paper asserts that change management is not always successful, and analysts cite a number of reasons why change might not be made effectively and ways in which the management of change might be done improperly. The paper looks at two articles that suggest on the one hand ways in which change management has been applied successfully, and on the other ways in which the process has failed.

Change management is not always successful, and analysts cite a number of reasons why change might not be made effectively and ways in which the management of change might be done improperly. Two articles suggest on the one hand ways in which change management has been applied successfully, and on the other ways in which the process has failed. Carter (2008) makes a number of recommendations about ways to assure that change management is successful, pointing out first that change management approaches alone are not likely to be sufficient. In addition, the manager..."

Abstract
This paper reviews a Change Management Plan that involves the implementation of a company intranet which permits employees to find intra organizational jobs that allow them to upgrade financially without leaving the organization. The paper notes how successful a company such as Cisco has been at encouraging employee mobility, and the author of this plan feels the same can occur elsewhere as well.

From the Paper
"Action plans that seek to institute a Human Resources Change Management Plan are never easy. Nonetheless, this paper will provide an action plan based upon an HR Change Management Initiative - in this case, the introduction of a new intra-net system (mirroring the one successfully employed by Cisco) whereby employees can use the company's internal web site to browse for, and apply for, positions they feel better suit their individual talents. The following paper will briefly outline some key tasks (what will be done and how it will be done) as well as due dates for design and release. The paper will also examine the resources which will be used, the steps which will be undertaken to achieve a successful resolution and the possible challenges which might be faced. "

Abstract
The paper relates that human resource professionals are the bridge between management and employees whose primary concern is to make the workplace thrive for the benefit of both groups. The paper discusses an analysis of the change management strategies that were implemented organization-wide at Capital One Financial Corporation, with the roll out of their Future of Work program. This analysis highlights the need for human resource innovation as a key component of change management, and leads to the recommendation that human resources be an integral part of implementing change within an organization. In the paper, a background of the case is presented, followed by a change situation diagnosis. From these sections, recommendations for achieving change are then created.

Executive Summary
Introduction to the Case Study
Change Situation Diagnosis
Recommendations for Achieving Change

From the Paper
"The only recommendation for the achievement of this continuing change would be the utilization of employees who have already made the switch to advocate for the program to others who were targeted for program roll out. Employees from other campuses, yet similar departments, may have unique insight into what areas was the most concern for them prior to implementation. They can also relate the benefits that they perceive as most valuable to their particular group. Actually hearing first hand experience from employees in a similar position may further decrease resistance to change and make continued roll out even smoother."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"As a result of Boeing's defense systems, it has a strong international presence and its' mission consists of leadership and impact in the field of aerospace. This mission is felt internally, regionally, nationally and internationally, in research and service. Boeing's objective is to insure that it remains the Cindustry leader in the 21st century, and it has achieved this objective through a number of mergers and acquisitions. For example, in the 1990's Boeing signed an agreement with the three largest aerospace companies in Japan; Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Fuji Heavy Industries. This aerospace agreement has been crucial to Boeing's long term objectives, because these are Japanese companies. Japan is the country that Boeing buys major assemblies, products and services from, and Japan offers extremely low competitive prices. The three Japanese companies are partners in design, manufacturing, and testing portions of the 777's airframe structure. This long-term objective has assisted the company to save millions of dollars on lower priced competitive goods that are necessary to the company functions. The Japanese companies now play more significant roles in the overall production of the 777's, an objective that continues to grow at Boeing."
