Determine the change in the company and the barriers and resistors by creating a Determining the Change Paper (include at least four references).
Select a diagnostic model you can utilize to review aspects of change activities and actions that have been taken by the company chosen. You are looking at the company’s parts and strategies for this analysis, as surmised by your earlier research. It is acknowledged that this information will need to be completed as you are looking at these companies as an outsider. Still, a thoroughly researched paper will give enough data to allow some well-defended assumptions on your part.
Here’s what to do:
- Select one diagnostic model (i.e., 6-box, 7S, congruence, or one of the others) to apply to the chosen company. Choose the model that best identifies and measures the relevant aspects of the organization’s performance.
- Apply the data obtained in your research by analyzing the appropriate chosen model. This will allow you to create a diagnosis of where the company is today (as per the criteria of the model).
- Identify potential areas of resistance that may occur and at least one strategy to respond to each.
- Make recommendations for further actions within the organizations and the rationale chosen for these recommendations.
- Write the paper, including each of the previous sections and analyses.
