Analyze an organizational change plan.
1. Select one of the following organizational change plan management templates as a reference for your Portfolio Project.
•Organizational Change Management Plan Template
•Instructions for Organizational Change Plan Management
2. Base your analysis on one organization from the course textbook. If you wish, you may select a different organization but you must receive instructor approval first. The organization may be nonprofit or for profit, and may be national, international, or regional in scope. There must be a valid reason for organizational change such as: implementing an environmental sustainability plan, implementing or improving a corporate social responsibility program, or generating innovative and creative outlets that entail flattening the management structure, for example.
3. The audience for your analysis may be the board of directors, management, shareholders, or any group of stakeholders of your choice. Be sure to identify which audience you choose.
4. Include the following in your analysis:
•Identify the role of strategic renewal in propelling change.
•Focus on the behavioral aspect of organizational change.
•Analyze the dynamics of motivating employees to alter their behaviors.
•Differentiate the three faces of change: turnaround, tools and techniques, and transformation.
•Understand the source of both employee resistance to and support for change.
•Appreciate the importance of trigger events in initiating change efforts.
•Examine the role that "going global" plays in triggering organizational change.
