• INDIVIDUAL FINAL PROJECT & PRESENTATION:
As an organizational development practitioner you have been asked to review a fortune 500 company; it must be on the list. You can only choose a company that is on the list between #300-500.2014 (AND IT’S FIRST COME FIRST SERVE) http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2010/full_list/ and develop a plan to effectively manage change. You will be required to write a paper (minimum of 5 pages, excluding cover and reference pages) and prepare a PowerPoint presentation (minimum of 5 slides) summarizing your paper, which you will post on-line. Only the Power Point will be posted in lieu of your last week’s Bb question to share with your classmates. (Directions for your Power Point will be given at a later date.) Other than the company, this is all something you are making up about the company. Think of the company’s products/services, its employee base (research their website), benefits program, etc. See what this company can do to move up on the Fortune 500 list or how is can maintain its current standing!
The paper must contain the following:
• Name of your “consulting firm”(make it FUN)
• Overview of the company you selected: A company history, the number they are on the “list” and some financial information (VERY basic).
• Describe the major change you have decided to implement. Why is the change needed?
• Describe how you plan to implement the change. Develop an effective and efficient plan to manage this change. Decide how this will be done without major disruption to the entire workforce.
• Please select at least 1 OD intervention to assist in the change and follow the activities contributing to Effective Change Management, listed on page 164 in your text.
• You must submit your first draft of your Fortune 500 Project (week #3) via SafeAssign and your Final paper via SafeAssign (week #7). I have set up and option SafeAssign link in week #6 and I am happy to review that paper with you prior to your final submission if you are interested. I will talk more about that option as class progresses.
