Change Management in Higher Education Department (HED), Government of the Punjab

Abstract

The public sector in Pakistan has witnessed waves of reforms since its early days. The nature, magnitude and duration of different reform efforts have changed over time but with passage of time the talk, if not actual action, has become a custom. Today debate about reform is a norm and not exception. The social sector especially education sector has its fair share of reform efforts. It is argued that agenda is increasingly influences by the international donor organisations, with varying degrees of political ownership. The grandeur of such reforms often overshadows the reforms undertaken at small scale through in-house initiatives. However, one may argue, the process and essentials of change management should be the same for any such endeavor to be successful.
