Employees at the Peoples Bank do not trust management and there is a shared perception that information is not shared and communication within the organization is inadequate. On January 14th 2018, Roxanne Padmore was assigned the task of selecting and implementing an investment management software at the Peoples Bank. The software was intended to eradicate the need for paper and enhance the execution of transaction between various departments. Some of the eventual users of the software included the compliance, audit, investment execution and wealth management departments. The team selected for implementing the software comprised primarily of personnel from the wealth management department. The software selected by Ms. Padmore and her project team is now being used by the organization. At the end of the implementation process employees complained that the software selected was not user friendly and the software previously used was more effective. Employees also indicated that although Ms. Padmore surveyed the organization on the preferred choice of software, the eventual choice was not the best and cost millions of dollars. The software chosen by Ms. Padmore and her team was the leading brand in many developed countries, used by many banks and the Journal of Investment Management Software stated it was highly effective and lead to long run cost savings. However, employees have indicated that the software was not user friendly and has many deficiencies. Furthermore, the use of the software prevents employees from fulfilling critical job functions. Moreover, John Smith an employee in the Compliance Department stated that the software did not take into consideration the peculiarities of the Caribbean and assumed that one size fits all. Ms. Padmore and the wealth management team that were responsible for implementation have all left the organization. a) Evaluate the situation above using a change management model.
