Throughout this course you have examined the role of diagnosis in assessing behaviors of employees in order to affect a strategic organizational change plan.

Wernicke (2010), with tongue in cheek, discusses how to create the perfect TED Talk. Watch the presentation here: Sebastian Wernicke: Lies, damned lies and statistics (about TEDTalks) (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

How would you, based on his talk, devise a metric for the organization where you work that would gauge the behavior of employees during the planning stage of a strategic organizational change model?

Some metrics you might use include:

1. Productivity
2. Arriving on time
3. Leaving late
4. Sense of humor
5. Contribution to collaborative efforts

The goal of this last discussion is to apply creative problem-solving techniques and to examine the various methods that leadership uses to effect organizational change.
