Leading Change - Competency 3 - Assessment

 

Competency 3 Assessment Instructions

You’ve been hired as a consultant to effect positive organizational change at a major corporation. You’ll create a presentation showing your strategies and tactics for change. You may use the information you gathered in the Assessment Prep Activity from the Learning Resources folder.

Choose a well-known corporation, such as Samsung, Starbucks, Ford Motor Company, or Waste Management, that implemented a major change.

Review your analysis of the corporation’s change process. Make sure you understand the exact nature of the change and why the corporation needs to make it.

Create a 12- to 13-slide Change Management Presentation showing strategies with supporting tactics to implement positive changes. The presentation is for the company’s board of directors.

Complete the following in your presentation:

• Evaluate why this change needed to occur. 
• Explain how the change impacts the company on a global scale.
• Explain how the change impacts employees.
• Using Kotter’s 8 Steps to Organizational Change Model, chart strategies and tactics for 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.

Cite your sources. Use the References section of the worksheet. 

• Make sure to give credit to any sources you use by including both in-text citations and a list of references. You can see how to do this in the APA 7 manual or in the University Library. Here's a quick example: 
• In-text citation example: According to Hubbart (2023), resistance to change is...
• Reference example: Hubbart, J. A. (2023). Organizational change: The challenge of change aversion. Administrative Sciences, 13(7), 162. https://doi.org/10.3390/admsci13070162 
• You don't have to follow this citation style perfectly, but it's important to show which ideas are yours and which come from other places when you're doing your assignments.
