Week 5 Project

Write your introduction here: Name of your selected organization (Amazon). It should be 1 to 2 good paragraphs that introduce the reader to your topic and it should explain in detail what your paper will be discussing. Much of your introduction may be taken from the assignment itself (in your own words). Read the scenario to get a feel for what the paper is about and explain what your paper will be discussing. Remember, this document is just a template. You will want to review the assignment AND rubric for full details. Finally, please ask me any questions about this assignment.

Overview

Summarize key details of the OD project so far in your work (this section should be no more than 1–2 paragraphs in your paper): What is the organization? What are the problems?

What are the proposed solutions?

Evaluation Plan

Justify an evaluation plan to determine the effectiveness of your interventions:

Who do you need to ask? How will you ask? What will you ask? What do you need to measure? How will you collect the necessary information and measure?

Learning

Defend a continual learning approach for the organization that creates an organization development value cycle whereby the outcome of the interventions becomes the input for a new cycle: What are the potential benefits to the organization of a learning cycle approach to OD? What are the potential challenges the organization might face by using a learning cycle approach?

Leadership Plan

Justify a change leadership plan for the organization that will help them embed the new practices or enhancements into the organization: What change model should they consider? How should they address resistance to change?

Best Practices

Summarize the top three best practices the organization should adopt that emerge from the entire OD course project.

Summary

Assess your own learning from the project: What are your key takeaways? In what areas do you need further development?

References

List your reference here in APA format. The reference page must include all of the references you used, listed in proper APA format. Wikipedia does not qualify as an academic resource.

Note: You will be graded on the quality of your answers, the logic/organization of the report, your language skills, and your writing skills.
