[All CIMAPRA19-E03-1 Questions]

M has been appointed as an external change agent to lead and implement a large scale re-structuring strategy which is being undertaken by a large bank. M has been appointed due to his extensive experience in a wide range of organizational re-structuring programmes. This re-structuring strategy will involve a large number of redundancies and the implementation of a new organization-wide management reporting system. M will need to work with staff from all departments and levels of the organization. The Board of Directors of the bank believes that an external change agent will bring more benefits to the change process than using an internal change agent.

Which of the following are the most likely benefits that could be achieved by the bank by appointing an external change agent to lead and implement the re-structuring strategy? (Choose all that apply.)

B, C, and D for sure. The bank is really taking a risk here, though. Hopefully, this external agent can pull it off without too much drama.

I agree with Cecilia. The bank is smart to bring in an external expert to handle this. Internal agents can be too biased or overwhelmed.

I think F could be a possibility too, but I wonder if the speed really depends on how well the external agent integrates with the team.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like A might not be true since hiring an external agent could actually be more expensive in some cases.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think C makes sense since an external agent might focus solely on the change without other internal duties.

I'd go with B, C, and D as well. The bank is probably hoping the external agent can be the "bad cop" and make the tough decisions.

Haha, I bet the employees are just thrilled to have an "external" agent come in and tell them how to do their jobs. Good luck with that one!
