Report for the Board of Directors

ASSESSMENT TASK-100%

You are required to produce a 5,500 word (+/- 10%) academic report for the board of directors by applying academic change management and leadership models, methods, and theories to explore the key issues of leading change in the workplace.

 

Task Description/Scenario:

A change management plan is necessary because every business change leads to a myriad of consequences – some expected, some hoped for, and many more totally unexpected. Some consequences are good, some are bad. Therefore, it is important to put a change management plan in place. It is necessary to dissect every business operation, interaction, and employee process in order to see how changing one part of it can affect the whole.

In light to the brief scenario above, you need to consider the change management process for an organisation in which you are currently working. If you are not currently working within an organisation, you may complete this task in relation to an organisation with which you are familiar. This could include work experience in a voluntary capacity. The organisation MUST be approved by your tutor. The size and location of the organisation is not important. All organisations, regardless of size or location undergo change activities.
