JHM2 — JHM2 TASK 1: CHANGE STRATEGY
CHANGE MANAGEMENT AND INNOVATION — C208
Introduction
An organization’s ability to survive depends on its leadership’s capacity to effectively lead innovation and planned change. Sustainable change depends on accurate diagnosis and effective intervention.
For this assessment, you will outline a change strategy for an organization of your choice. Your chosen organization must be one that you have experience with and one that has opportunities for you to develop a strategic plan. Your strategic planning should help the organization address its fundamental problems and help create sustained organizational change.
Note: Any information that would be considered confidential, proprietary, or personal in nature should not be included in the actual task submission to the University. Do not include the actual names of people, suppliers, the organization(s), or other identifiable information. Fictional names should be used. Also, organization-specific data, including financial information, should not be included but should be addressed in a general fashion as appropriate. Work performed for a client, or an employer is their property and should not be used without written permission.
