Benchmark – Change Initiative: Develop a
Change Model
View Rubric
Max Points: 110
Details:
Research the various change models used
by organizations today. After assessing these models,
create a change model conducive to your field, and that will work within your
organization’s culture. This model should serve to implement a strategic
process that can help your organization integrate a change and respond to the internal or external driving forces that affect
organizational success.
Create a visual representation of your
model using a graphic organizer of your choice (flow chart, concept map, etc.).
The design of your model will be unique and relevant to your organization, based on a critical analysis of its culture and
behavior. However, your model must demonstrate the necessary steps for
realistic implementation. Your model will be assessed on the quality of
strategic implementation you design, the support you present for your model, and inclusion of the following concepts:
1. Methods
to evaluate the need for change
2. Approach
and criteria for choosing individuals or teams necessary for a change
initiative
3. Communication
strategies
4. Strategies
to gather stakeholder support and overcome resistance
5. Implementation
strategies
6. Sustainability
strategies
Once you have created your model,
prepare a 15-20 slide PowerPoint presentation to present your model and
demonstrate how this model is relevant to your organization and why it will work well within your organization’s culture. In
conclusion, discuss why this model will lead to sustainable change when most
change initiatives fail. You will
utilize this change model for your final paper.
