Identify Change Issues

Discuss about the Fitlife Change Management Project for Health and Fitness.

Fitlife is one of the renowned health and fitness organizations that has been operating across various cities of e Australia   for the last 40 years.   The organization provides personal fitness training courses to their customers and   currently employs some of the best   personnel of the fitness industry for the same.

A  recent market study by  the Statistica Australian Marketing Research  Agency  ( or the  SAMRA) has revealed  that  the  emergence  of  various  new entrants  in the market   is   challenging the  Fitlife ’s  status   of ‘Key  player’. The market research team of SAMRA  has  advised  the higher management  of  Fitlife   to include certain  key changes in  the  organization,  the  details  of  which    would be discussed   in this report.

Identify the strategic change needs through an analysis of organizational objectives

The market study conducted by the research team of Statistica Australian Marketing Research Agency indicated that at present, the organizational goals of Fitlife should be:

To increase the number of customers who currently utilize their services.

To include new forms of fitness training courses so as to attract new customers.

To join hands   with corporate  houses  and academic institutions  so as  to  attract the  Gen Y  in  attending their fitness programs.

Besides the above mentioned strategies, the research team of SAMRA has also advised the higher management of Fitlife  to make a better utilization   of their ICT systems to attract the attention of the new age   consumers.

The following section of the report would provide an in-depth analysis of the operational strategies currently utilized by Fitlife  and the changes that have been recommended by the research team of SAMRA.

Conclusion

The preceding sections of the report provide insight into the change management project being implemented in Fitlife. Section 1  of the report  emphasizes  on the identification  of  the  issues  that  need  to be  considered on an emergency basis, while the change management strategy has been  discussed  in section 2 of  the report. Section  3  sheds  some light  on  the  manner  in which the  changes would be communicated with  the stakeholders  while the last  section essentially highlights  the process  of monitoring  the change management activities.

In the light  of  the discussions made   in the report,  it can be said that  the strategic  changes  mentioned  in the report can  be successfully implemented  with  the  utilization   of  appropriate monitoring and implementation processes.
