Thoughts on LIS in India Policies and reorganisation
MODEL FOR CHANGE
Management of change in any organisation should be governed by the `body of knowledge', which has been accumulated over the years. The main thrust of this knowledge comprises recognising the `Factors for Change' and most importantly, their `interaction / interface' with each other and outside-of-geomatics-sector policies in India (for example, Restriction Policy of Mapping in India). Based on these thoughts, a heuristic (based on experience) model for change is depicted in Figure 1.
Fig 1 Model For Change-Management
|
A Technology | |
| - Products e.g. maps
- Services e.g. data
- Marketing and Distribution
- Technical Standards
|
| B Organisation | |
| - Public / Private / University
- Structure of the Organisation
|
| C Policies | |
| - Government
- Professional Practices
|
| D Professional Staff | |
| - Recruitment
- Education & Training
- Salary structure
|
Let us discuss these factors (shown in Fig.1) in more details. It follows from the figure that any suggested change in the policy is bound to impinge on the existing equilibrium reached between technology, organisational structure and staff.
