Assignment: Develop specific strategies with supporting tactics

Purpose of Assessment

Develop specific strategies with supporting tactics to implement positive change within an organization. You may refer to the information that you prepared in Week 5 to complete this assignment, but your submission should add to your prior research and not just copy your Week 5 assignment.

Scenario: You’ve been hired as a consultant to develop strategies with supporting tactics to implement positive changes in the corporation you chose in Week 5.

Review your analysis of the corporation’s change process from Week 5 to be sure you have a thorough understanding of the change and the need for the change.

Prepare a 12- to 13-slide Change Management Presentation for the company’s Board of Directors. Include the following:

Evaluate why this change needed to occur.

Discuss how this change impacts the company on a global scale.

Discuss how this change impacts employees.

Using Kotter’s 8-Step Change Model, chart strategies and tactics for positively implementing the organizational change.

In your chart, complete the following:

Develop strategies for each of the 8 steps in Kotter’s model Develop tactics to support each strategy

Justify the effectiveness of each strategy and tactic with a rationale.

Conclude your presentation with an explanation of how this positive organizational change will help the company sustain a competitive advantage in the global market.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
