Scenario Based Task

Imagine you joined an organization where work health and safety had been poorly managed. You are told by your CEO to supervise your organization's WHS position and make necessary changes. After careful analysis, you have found, there are few organizational issues which are required to be fixed before working on WHS. You have found that your team may need additional training. There is no WHS policy in your workplace. Staff members feel unsafe while working because there is no safety guideline, and work areas have outdated equipment and materials. There are few unresolved issues with some stakeholders and potential suppliers.

It is quite clear to you that this organization needs an overall transformation and strong leadership. As first step towards it, you would like to call a meeting with all staff members to explain relevant organizational issues and WHS risks; then go ahead taking the strategic steps one by one. Prepare a plan (in report format) which you would like to follow to make things happen; consider the following points while making this report -

1. Analyse and confirm capacity and competence of relevant individuals who will take part in your change project.

2. Submit a plan to identify and handle risks in change management process

3. Develop learning and communication processes for addressing problems and risks

4. Prepare and attach a change management project plan [please use the template below]

5. Make changes to change management plan according to risks and inform stakeholders about updates.

Part B

Consider the same case scenario. Your chosen organization is facing a crisis and so it needs an overall transformation with a presence of strong leadership. As first step towards it, you have analysed organizational capacity and submitted a plan for managing change. You have also successfully implemented the change project with appropriate risk management and communication plan. Also imagine during the change project you have satisfactorily handled team-conflict and employee resistance issues. Now it is time to review the outcome of the project. In addition to that you need to evaluate your own leadership effectiveness.

Prepare a report and presentation to address the following points -

1. Overview of your change project or program (describe your project)
2. Describe how did you manage team-conflict and employee resistance during this time.
3. Analyse the impact of your leadership using self-reflection (you may use any self-reflection tools).
4. Seek feedback on your leadership (from staff members).
5. Strategy to change your leadership style (after receiving feedback).
