Successful Change Versus a Dismal Failure

 

For the PowerPoint Presentation,

• Analyze a credible article that describes a successful change initiative within a real organization.
• Analyze a scholarly article or a credible source that describes a failed change initiative within a real organization
  • Do not use stories about Blockbuster Video or Kodak of Eastman Kodak Company. (These are examples of failure to change and not failed change)
  • Be sure to focus on a failed change initiative and not a failure to change.
• Compare and contrast the possible implementation theories used for the change events discussed in the two articles.
• Incorporate at least one change theory that could help make the initiative successful the next time around.
• Provide a summation of what could have been done to make the failed initiative a success.
• Create a PowerPoint presentation of 6 to 7 slides (not including title and references slides) as follows:
  • Title: Include a Title slide.
  • 6 – 7 Slides: You slides should only have outlines and should capture the most important points. Include other information in your slide notes.
  • Notes: Include slide notes for each slide. To create notes for a slide:
    • In your PowerPoint, click on View.
    • Then, click on Notes Pages.
    • The Notes page is displayed below the slide. Add notes for each slide.
  • Reference: Include a reference slide
