Part 1- Assignment

a) Description of likely helping forces or forces likely to support or otherwise facilitate successful implementation. Remember, these could be any of the 7S model factors or they could have to do with key stakeholders who are likely to be important initiative supporters. Make sure to provide enough elaboration so that each force is specifically described in enough detail for someone not familiar with your organization to understand. This should also be done with the hindering forces noted in the next section.

b) Likely hindering forces, again drawn from your 7S model and stakeholder analysis. These are those people, organizational dynamics (e.g. resources, systems, staffing, leadership, etc.) that will impede the needed changes inherent in your recommendations.

c) Your plan on leveraging the helping forces to help promote successful implementation of recommendations. (See action plan summary).

d) Your plan on mitigating the negative influence of likely hindering forces. (See action plan summary)

e) Ethical Issues pertinent to your project analysis and/or recommendations.

Part 2- Discussion question

What specific leadership behaviors do you think are needed to successfully address the implementation issues identified in this module? Which of these behaviors will be most difficult for you and how might you compensate?
