Are there drivers of the change that will determine the success of the change initiative-If so, what are they?

CONSULTING PROPOSAL ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS

OVERVIEW

The management of change in an organization is often led by an internal or external change consultant who leads change from a project perspective with a phased approach that includes the project definition, a diagnosis of the situation, recommendations for a solution, a plan for implementing the recommendations, and the actual implementation of the plan.

INSTRUCTIONS

You will prepare a consulting proposals based on the cases from the textbook assigned in Modules/Weeks 1–3 (Consulting Proposal 1) The proposal must be 1000–1500 words and include at least the following 5 sections:

1. Definition of project

2. Diagnosis of current situation

3. Recommendations

4. Implementation plan

5. Summary

For example:

• If the organization needs to change its recruitment strategy or perhaps offer new products, what specific types of change are involved?

• Will the employees be affected? If so, what type of employees?

• How should the recommended changes be implemented?

• Are there drivers of the change that will determine the success of the change initiative? If so, what are they?

Keep in mind that the proposal is an overview of the current situation, needed changes, and recommendations; therefore, it is important to refrain from providing too much detail.

However, the proposal must contain enough information for the CEO to select a course of action. Because the person receiving your proposal is the CEO, there is no need to re-state information in the case study as he/she should already be aware of the current situation.
