Trinity Finance’s Sales Organization and Sales Approach (B): Change Management and Behavioral Challenges
Synopsis
This caselet, second in the ‘Trinity Finance’s Sales Organization and Sales Approach’ series, focuses on the change management program at Trinity Finance Ltd. (Trinity) which had identified six areas of improvement to arrest the decline in its market share. The Leadership Team (LT) at Trinity decided to first finalize and roll-out a change management program which was in sync with its organizational goal of ‘RACE’ (Radical Approach to Customer Engagement). However, the LT members debated on the need for an organization-wide change given that despite the declining market shares Trinity was still the market leader and was profitable. Was there indeed a need for organization-wide change? If yes, how could Trinity design and deliver an appropriate change management program to be effective across all the levels in the organization?
