Operational and process changes you will make to align the organization to your vision.

Both strategic planning and the administration of programs are not synonymous, but they are closely connected and require immediate attention. Speak about strategic management as something that is structured across the entire organization, while project management is at a micro-level since both individuals and departments can implement it in the organization. Nonetheless, a healthy management plan will help in organizing staff, discussing potential outputs, purpose, and priorities, which will assist in carrying out the implementation of strategic initiatives. Therefore, some of the modifications will include Consistent feedback, Proper allocation of tasks, and Recognition of every employee (Uhrin, 2017).

Feedback is a reminder. It helps workers not to lose focus on the main objective of the company. Thus, just like the Amazon strategy, employees should be supplied continuously with feedback since it investigates performance evaluation on how the job and employees impact each other. Also, tasks should be appropriately allocated to aid managerial and venture employees to understand and implement their roles in the organization. Ultimately, Engagement is vital to maintain the firm’s growth and vision. When workers are not recognized, they tend to lose track of their motives. Therefore, it is essential to acknowledge every worker across all departments in the firm in the same way applicable to the Amazon and E-commerce strategy.

How will you implement change leadership/management to ensure employee buy-in and rapid implementation of your strategic plan?

For employees to buy-in this strategy, I would ensure supervisors and the superior board provide consistent feedback to the workers. It is because, according to the Amazon and e-commerce report, 72% of the workers surveyed felt that they would increase their efficiency in performance with the help of more feedback (Plant, 2000). Therefore I would create a policy strictly to be followed by the managers to provide the required feedback to the employees at any time. Also, to help employees understand their role in the company’s operation, I can introduce graphics to illustrate the overall strategy of the organization and how tasks are moving towards the organization, the same process applied by Amazon. To ensure everyone in the firm is recognized, it would be significant to set a day for awarding employees, and this helps to show gratitude and help them know that management pays close attention to both individuals and their own goals.

How you will ensure that key stakeholders support the changes.

The first is to create a new comprehensive contact strategy. It will ensure coordination through various channels and strategies so that the broadest group of stakeholders may participate. Next is to build a relaxed climate for a change initiative; this will help stakeholders understand the clear intention of the company’s vision. Also, I would ensure various stakeholders participate during the life cycle of the change initiative. It will promote stakeholders’ trust towards the company hence prompt them to support the changes. The other thing is to utilize the support team of stakeholders since it an excellent way to ensure a large number of stakeholders are engaged in the change process. Last is to identify leaders and resisters to the drive for change progress. It will help in identifying the stakeholders who do not support the change and assist in formulating methods on how to approach them from a different angle (Tanner, 2007).
