Degree of Change (cont) • Incremental change is an ongoing process of evolution over time, during which many small adjustments occur routinely.

How to Set Up a Focus Group Discussion(adapted from Figure 12.5) The facilitator explains the topic to be discussed, the role of the scribe, and how the organization will use the results of the focus group discussion. The participants come prepared to discuss a specific topic. If confidentiality is a concern, participants are chosen from different units of the organization, not the same work group. The scribe takes notes about what is said, but not who says it.
Organizational Change and Innovation • Innovation is the process of creating and implementing a new idea. • Types of innovation • Technical innovation refers to the creation of new goods and services. • Process innovation involves creating a new way of producing, selling, and/or distributing an existing good or service. • Administrative innovation occurs when creation of a new organization design better supports the creation, production, and delivery of goods and services.
Learning Organizations • A learning organization has both the drive and the capabilities to modify or transform itself and improve its performance continuously.
