Change Diagnosis and Process Paper

Change Diagnosis and Process Paper
The purpose of the Change Management Diagnosis and Process Paper is to extend the critical thinking process associated with organizational development and change. Students will describe and analyze a change initiative, develop a change process, and address the critical issues in implementing the change within an organization.
Each paper will include the following sections and should be at least 6 pages in length:
Introduction
Organizational Background: identify the organization (mission, vision, key leaders, etc.) and identify the issue you are attempting to address (must be related to strategy, structure, or process); why is this issue so important to address within the organization?
Organizational Diagnosis: what level of diagnosis is required (individual, group, or organizational), and what is your plan for collecting and analyzing data?
Organization Change Process: Select one of the organizational change theories (Lewin’s, Action Research, Positive Model, Continuous Change Model, or General Model of Planned Change) and describe how you plan to implement your proposed change initiative following one of these models as your basic framework.

Plan to Manage the Change
Process: what is your plan to manage the change process (Ch. 8 from our textbook).
