19 Dec BUS-FPX4802:Overview of Change Management Strategy Hands-On Experience Project Project
BUS-FPX4802:Overview of Change Management Strategy Hands-On ExperienceProject Project Overview To give you hands-on experience of how change management is applied in the “real world,” you will create a change strategy for an actual organization (or client) to support their change management needs. For the purpose of this course, you will only work on the strategy part of your client’s project, and your final deliverables will be the components of a change management strategy with recommendations that can be handed off to the client to execute. You will engage with an outside group, such as your current workplace, a place of worship, or a civic group. Your mission is to help your client through a change they are going to implement in their organization. The projects listed below are just examples of projects that require change management to support and sustain the change. Your project will be dictated by the organization with which you engage and could be any type of project. • New process is being introduced to a team. • New system is being implemented in the company. • New program to increase employee engagement. • New program to support work-life balance and better health. Make sure your project is suitable for you to apply change management assessment, interventions, and recommendations. As you choose your group, be aware that you will be asked to think about and make recommendations to this team’s larger organization. Your Task You will create a change management strategy with recommendations that includes goals, roles, procedures, and relationships: ● Change management project goals and objectives. ● Stakeholder analysis. ● Assessment of the current environment of the organization. ● Intervention strategies that will be used to manage the change. ● Reinforcement strategies that will support the adoption. ● Roles and responsibilities of the teams that are key to executing the change strategy. ● Plan to measure adoption, including the metrics to beused. 2 Your Deliverables and Timeline Use this timeline to plan the change activities, tasks, and deliverables for your client project.
