Proposição de um processo sistêmico e sustentável para gestão de mudanças

Abstract

This research proposes an Organizational Process for Change Management, justified from a theoretical gap of operational detail on the subject, combined with the practical demand for an artifact that is part of the organizational routine for Change Management. To design and develop the Proposed Process was used the Methodology of Design Research that is a guide to develop artifacts to improve systems or problem solving. Although generic, the Proposed Process for Change Management was inspired by an existing organizational environment. As a source of analysis, development and partial implementation of the new proposal, a company in the mining sector was used. To develop the activities were mainly used the principles and techniques contained in the System Thinking. As a complement for activities and phases not included in this approach, were used the Theory of Constraints Thinking Process and the Methodology for Transformation Process - TransMeth. Identified the problem in the field led to a review of existing literature for initial exploration and understanding of models and methods to systematize the conduct and management of the change process in organizations. The studies found were categorized into three different detail levels: level 1 - models which illustrate the stages and explain how change occurs in organizations; level 2 - suggested guidelines for driving the change, explaining the "what" should or not should be made to the achievement of an effective change; level 3 - methods that guide "how" manage the change, usually developed from Methods for Identification, Analysis and Solution of Problems existing in the theoretical field. The fourth level artifact of this study, proposes a process for organizational change management, defining activities, responsible, documents, rituals, and performance measures.
