8 Assignment
Change Initiative Paper
(Benchmark Assessment)
Details:
Context: Organization development
(OD) is a strategic, organization-wide effort with the purpose of increasing
organization effectiveness and health by means of planned interventions in the
organization’s processes. OD focuses on the social and human aspects of an
organization as a way to improve the organization’s ability to adapt and solve
problems. OD is not a paint-by-the-numbers approach to problem solving. Rather,
OD emphasizes fairness, openness, freedom from coercion, and individual
autonomy to change an organization’s culture.
In the previous
assignments for this course, you explored various change models and examined
how real-world companies have successfully implemented change. The intent of
these assignments was to present the components common to most change
initiatives (e.g., leadership, motivation, resistance, models of organization
change. The purpose of the Change Initiative Paper is to provide an opportunity
for the student to assemble and organize this knowledge into a final
culminating project.
Directions: Identify an actual
organization with which you are familiar. Identify a possible change that will
increase this organization’s effectiveness and/or health. Select an established
change model to implement this change. Write a paper (1,500-1,800 words) that
influences your reader to adopt a specific organization change initiative. The
change model you select will determine the appropriate organization and
specific content of the paper; however, your paper needs to address the
following:
- The need for
change (e.g. organizational culture shift, changing technologies,
reorganization, customer demands, etc.).
- The change
model.
- The role of
the leader in the change initiative.
- Process of
change.
- Overcoming
barriers to change.
- Sustaining
change.
