1990 merger of Siemens & Nixdorf which formed SNI • Products sold only in Germany & weak base in Asian and North American Market • Slow in responding to market changes • New CEO wanted a radical change in culture • Culture Change: 1st Phase: Giving employees a voice in defining new culture-13 week programme at US. • 2nd Phase: Giving customers a voice- customer’s recommendations & ideas and • 3rd Phase: Giving partners a voice looked for new ways to reinforce & expand the areas in which they work together Synopsis of the case

No Individual goals for Change Agent were set - CA were not made aware that how their accomplishments will benefit the organization • Objective was not time bound: Each change agent should be given time for return on investment after which they should be removed from position of CA and a new promising person needs to be appointed • Productive time was lost as CA were sent for the programme • Implementation was not appropriate • No Evaluation of the programme was done • Bureaucratic structure • Company wide culture change programmed (dept wise) Problem Areas Identified
If Each change agent were given a stipulated time -This will help to get return on investment. • If Focus for training was on individual level- Would have helped employees to match their objectives with that of the organization. • If Business reengineering programme would be from any promising Asian country -More practicality added to the programme , which will help them to get a base in Asian country. • If Implementation was considered at all levels 1. Participant: Monitoring of acceptance of change would be easier. 2. Business unit: This will help to train that department first which is most impacted by the change. 3. Organization: Helped to create road map for post programme implementation. What If?
What If? • If they operating in markets which are very dynamic where change happens rapidly: SNI needs to appoint full time market surveyors who can analyze the market conditions and accordingly provide update beforehand to the department which will be impacted the most. • If SNI had done analysis of top Computer manufacturers in the Asian & North Asian countries: This would have helped them to plan their change management more effectively and help them to find out the specific areas where they need changes.
