You will choose a change project you would like to develop and plan for in your personal or professional life. Since the course is short-term, the change project is one that you might not be able to complete within that time. Your plan can be one that you will develop in the future. The change must be one you are in control of implementing.
Your Assignment should include:
Overview: Provide a one-paragraph summary of your proposed change project. What are you proposing and why?
Needs Statement: Provide a general description of the project and determine what is driving this need for change. How will this change add value to those involved?
Stakeholders: List all the people who were involved in the change and how you engaged each one. How did you manage resistance?
Resources required: List all the human, material, and financial resources you used to complete the change process.
How did you use your Strengths as outlined in the Strengths Finder while implementing this change?
Change model: Which change model(s) did you follow? Please illustrate each of the steps within this model and details regarding the results.
Success factors: How did you measure success?
Sustaining the change: How will you build support systems to sustain this change?
Conclusion: Summarize and synthesize your change project findings & results.
Your well-crafted Signature Assignment should be 7-9 pages double-spaced (not including cover page or references). Include at least five credible sources to support your paper. You may use any resource included in the course content. The CSU Global Library is also a good place to find references (available in the left-hand navigation panel).
