ONLY NEED WEEK 3!!

Introduction

The Course Project is divided into three deliverables. This Course Project will assist the student in utilizing the concepts in this class, assignments, textbook, and instruction by your professor by doing a thorough analytical and in-depth review of organizational change. The first deliverable involves a comprehensive assessment of using images of change in a co mplete analysis. This assignment will give you the experience of working with change images, how to recommend and structure implementing a change in an organization, and how to apply human resource management competencies. The second deliverable will involve selecting a change model of your choice that can be used for the chosen organization. This part of the Course Project allows for demonstrating a strategic leadership perspective. The final deliverable will culminate in the art of communicating the change and how it aligns with the workplace environment and culture, along with how it will assist in exceeding the organization's goals. Be sure to reach each deliverable in its entirety.

Course Project deliverables are due by Sunday of Weeks 3, 5, and 7.

It is necessary to begin working on your project as quickly and as early as possible.

Guidelines

The following will be accomplished in these three deliverables for Weeks 3, 5, and 7:

• Each deliverable must have 3 to 5 pa ges not including title or references pages.
• Each deliverable must have at least four references (peer-reviewed).

Please note the following points related to the research component of this Course Project.

Utilize multiple references using online research, including the DeVry University on-site or online libraries. Also, consider using a public library or other area university or college library for print resources. Additional secondary research sources that would be appropriate for this project may also be used. The purpose of completing the research component for this Course Project is to include strong references to support your findings.

Week 3: Research a small to mid-size (up to $1 billion in revenue) publicly traded company along with their methods of handling a significant change in the organization. Analyze and w rite about images of change in the selected organization in a Change Analysis Images of Change Paper (include at least four references). This deliverable is due in Week 3.

Week 5: Determine a current or previous change in the company. Provide an analysis of the barriers and resistors by writing a Determining the Change Paper (include at least four references). This deliverable is due in Week 5.

Week 7: Analyze and cr eate an employee-facing communication based on the change in your researched company. This is the Communicating the Change Paper (including at least four references). This deliverable is due in Week 7.

This section focuses on the six different images of managing change and how each approach to change affects all that follows in its implementation and continued support. This paper should focus on evidence demonstrating how the organization's management integrated one or more of the six images of managing change, how effective the change was, and what management could have done differently to increase the probability of successfully implementing the strategic change initiative.

Here's what to do.

1. Briefly describe the company's industry, size, line of business, services, products, and other relevant background information. Use reputable sources such as company websites, industry reports, and academic journals.
2. Review and explain the change.
   • What did the change entail?
   • When did the change occur (timeline)?
   • Who was impacted by the change (consider all stakeholders, employees, vendors, customers, etc.)?
3. Analyze the Images of Change Management.
   • Briefly discuss the 6 Images of Change.
   • Discuss the images of change you think the leader of your selected organization resembled the most and explain why. The images selected will depend on how much information you find about the company's internal workings during the shift. You may speculate.
   • Based on the information you read about the results of the change, state which image (or combination of images) you feel would have best facilitated the described change and explain why.
