The objective to this document is to create a comprehensive OB analysis based on research data and information on which your presentation will be based and to which you as the consultant/presenter could refer for additional information as needed. This report should be approximately 1000-1200 words in length.

I. Introduction to (name your consultancy) and services provided.

You are a consultant who works with client companies to analyze their issues relating to behavior within the organization. Explain the skills, knowledge and experience you bring that support the services you provide. Relate to at least 3 OB concepts . For example, you can explain your experience in teamwork, class work, volunteer or paid supervision, networking through professional social media (LinkedIn), exposure to other cultures within an organizational setting, etc. When explaining those experiences, you might speak about cross-cultural communication, age diversity, motivation, team building, etc. An example of how to write this in third person objective voice is:

"DAB consulting specializes in assisting the transformation of organizations as they strive to achieve their market goals. Through identification of internal culture and behaviors that support as well as mitigate goal achievement, DAB consulting guides clients to maximize employee strengths, uncover and correct the root cause of employee-centered organizational weaknesses, and prepare for implementation of strategic plans. With experience particularly in developing the organization's internal culture, coaching and training in age-diverse relations and cross-cultural teamwork and communications, DAB consulting now presents the following recommendations for PetGourmand."

II. Analysis of PetGourmand

To provide a sample of your work to Mr. Chinn, you will analyze at least 3 critical incidents facing PetGourmand. Your purpose is to identify, document, analyze and assess behavioral issues and problems, which will lead into your recommendations in the next section.

Critical Incident #1 (name it)

Critical Incident #2 (name it)

Critical Incident #3 (name it)

Your analysis and assessment of these incidents must evidence understanding of the case's specific characters, context, incidents and circumstances. Avoid generalizations that might apply to similar cases available on the Internet or in previous courses. Use our theories and concepts to explain your assessment of these incidents. In addition to concepts from weeks 4-5 (required), consider also tying in concepts from weeks 1-3.

III. Recommendations

Propose and evaluate at least three recommendations, including OB strategies or interventions, that the organization could use to solve problems, address issues, and hence enhance cross-cultural team performance and effectiveness and based on key findings and ideas to maximize ongoing improvements to organizational performance and success. Include self-assessment team tools, training exercises, team development methods, or other similar resources.

REFERENCES

Your outside references should show a mix of credible OB professional networks and associations (for example, Organizational Behavior Management Network, Society for Human Resource Management, Society for Organizational Behavior), scholarly and applied/practical sources, largely drawn from UMUC’s Information Library System (ILS), and including classic writings.
