Question 1: The General Model of Planned Change and Its Application to BlueSkies
Airlines
The General Model of Planned Change comprises four key activities: Entering and Contracting,
Diagnosing, Planning and Implementing Change, and Evaluating and Institutionalizing Change.
These activities provide a framework for effectively managing organizational development (OD)
initiatives. In the case of BlueSkies Airlines, these activities were evident in the sequence of
events described in the case study.
Entering and Contracting
The first step, entering and contracting, involves gathering initial data to understand the
problems or opportunities within an organization and developing a contract to guide the change
process. This step helps in deciding whether to commit resources to a planned change program
(Cummings & Worley, 2020).
