Imagine a senior executive has asked you to conduct an organizational self-assessment based on the Four-Frame Model.

Choose an organization that you either worked for, are familiar with, or have identified through research.

• Describe the organization. What is its purpose? Who does it serve? How is its leadership structured?
• Apply the Four-Frame Model to show how the organization currently functions. Explain how each frame is exemplified in the specific aspects of the organization and provide examples.
• Examine the structural, human resources, political, and symbolic aspects of the organization within the Four-Frame construct. Detail your analysis.
• Identify the frames in which, based on your analysis, the organization is operating most and least successfully regarding resolving workplace conflict disputes. Support your claim.
• Apply multi-frame thinking to recommend organizational changes based on your analysis to strengthen weaker aspects of the organization.
• Summarize your current analysis of the organization along with your recommendations for change based on the Four-Frame Model.
