Organizational change is an important aspect in management due to the unpredictable and
ever changing environment. In order to survive and prosper in such an environment,
organization should adjust their internal strategy to effectively react to external changes
in the environment. It involves managing both business and people in a changing
environment so that organization changes can be successful. Ewaso Nyiro South
Development Authority (ENSDA) has been planning and transforming its internal control
systems and restructuring, implementing structural transformation, revamping and
creating performance standards, and implementing sustainability strategy in order to
achieve its mandate. This research project sought to find out management of strategic
change at ENSDA and the challenges the institution has been facing in managing
strategic change. The objectives were to establish how ENSDA managed strategic
change, find out challenges faced and measures taken to deal with challenges. A case
study design was used to determine the state of change management at ENSDA. Primary
and secondary data was collected and analyzed using content analysis. The study findings
indicate that employee training, seminars, workshops, team building, communication,
restructuring, culture change and changes in the physical infrastructure are some of the
change management practices that have been instrumental in management strategic
change at ENSDA. It is therefore concluded that ENSDA is capable of managing change
and should continue implementing all planned changes in ICT and GIS projects to realize
complete change. The study recommends that ENSDA should pursue sustainability
strategy to raise internal sources of funds to sustain its operations and order to achieve its
mandate.
