Change Management Plan

Instructions

 

Final project part 2, 30% of your course grade

Based on your last paper, create a change-management plan. Put yourself in the position of a consultant making recommendations to the CEO of the organization.

Present your recommendations in a PowerPoint presentation of 10-15 slides. State whether the organization is prepared with its current culture to meet the needs and challenges of the future. Defend your argument.

Your presentation should include the following (at a minimum):

• an evaluation of the current situation and analysis of whether the current culture is sufficient to meet the needs of the future, or if the culture needs to change; include the ramifications of doing nothing (keeping the culture the way it is)

• recommendations for change, with specific strategies that need to be adopted by the leadership, including for communication of the changes and responses to resistance to change

• justification and support for the recommended changes, based on both your own observations and the literature (at least three sources)
