Abstract

The final project is a written response to the application of the concepts learned in the course, relating to a theoretical developmental perception of a change management plan. Greater emphasis lies on the application of these presented ideas on a personal learning level. A selected organization that has gone, or is undergoing change was the focal point of this assignment. The documented research from this organization was outlined to structure the following format: (1) a critique of the organization’s profile, (2) the outline strategic plan to address the need for urgency, (3) the selection of a qualified unified team, and (4) the informative decisions and conclusions that were derived in Week One of the course. In view of the educational setting, a school was chosen for this project. This campus is undergoing the change process that will help to rescue its current academic downfalls, learning gaps, and deficiencies. Applications regarding the structuring of a team are incorporated, as well as the developmental plan to initiate and foster communication. The plan for empowerment is also a key, as it directly relates to the attitudinal residue of the employees. An illustration of symbols that are utilized will be discussed as it defines the meaning and logic that constructs the change efforts. Information gathered for this composition was derived from the course text, scholarly journals, articles, and reputable sites from the Internet.
