Forecasting Workforce (TT)
Comm215 - Forecasting possible cultural changes in Worldwide Telecommunications Incorporated depends on many factors. Before any changes can be made, one must first analyze the cultures that presently exist inside of an organization. This can be done in several ways such as: focus groups, employee surveys or interviews, and research of customer feedback. Once this information is analyzed, we can identify areas where change is needed. This can be a very long and tedious process, and should only be done to make improvements to the company. It is important that we take this approach fostering a sense of empowerment and not dictatorship. Our employees must accept any change made to be effective. Peter Senge, a senior lecturer at Massachusetts Institute of Technology states, “Building a shared vision fosters genuine commitment and enrollment rather than compliance” (Senge, 2009). Comm 215
