Below is the final assignment for this course, and in writing the assignment you will need to consider the most relevant concepts that will assist you in a practical change activity.
Your Tasks
For this assignment, you are asked to:
- Consider an area that you believe would benefit from a change with reference to an organisation – HOTELBEDS(https://discover.hotelbeds.com/) recently transformed in to HBX Group(https://www.hbxgroup.com/ and your role or area of influence within it. The change issue needs to be a ‘live’ one that has not yet been proposed or addressed. (VERY IMPORTANT)
- Propose a plan for this change along with a supporting rationale, taking into account the needs of the various stakeholders, the potential of success as well as the possibility of resistance along with other potential factors (areas to consider, no need to address all) such as:
- What is the key focal issue of the change?
- What is the nature and scope of the change – what level of the organisation is it directed to?
- Who will be affected by the change, how might they react, and what emotional support would you provide?
- What will be your approach or style of intervention?
- How will you communicate the change and how?
- What values, beliefs, and behaviours are you targeting?
- What is the timeline for the change?
- How will it be reinforced?
IMPORTANT SUGGESTION BY TUTOR TO FOLLOW:
- Note that the Consulcube (organisational development (OD) process, a very useful model proposed by Blake and Mouton (1983) is known as the Consulcube) discussed during the course will prove to be a useful tool in evaluating the above factors. This is suggested primarily as a means of structuring your change plan.
- I would like to see stronger application of the model to support your research, especially to elucidate the recommendations, Please avoid being general.
- Arguments needs be logical and cohesive, based on evidence and integrated well with theory to produce a persuasive analysis. Follow the pattern in recommendations too.
- During this course we have examined a range of topics in relation to managing change. In writing this assignment, you will need to consider which topics that we discussed throughout the course as well as any additional evidence would be useful in helping you to come up with a proposal for a change initiative in a familiar organisation. Although there will be a number of relevant topics, avoid overloading the assignment with too many concepts or theories. Instead, use those you consider most appropriate. MUST FOLLOW GUIDELINE BELOW:
- you start out with the issue you will be discussing and;
- then chose relevant theories and concepts.
- Use of minimum Four visuals to supplement the discussion, must use Diagrams, Tables and graphs.
- Additionally, be sure to use the correct citation style and use of the literature throughout.
If you chose to use reflective activities that you wrote throughout the module then you will need to reference them as evidence. It could be stated something like this within the text: ‘as evidenced in the unit two reflective activity (appendix 1) it can be seen that…’ (Note for writer – I am attaching my reflective work shared with my tutors throughout this module. This is for your better understanding of the real time Change management issue my company & we as its employees faced. In my reflective work the issue highlighted was only a minor change(but with huge impact) as compared to the bigger change being a massive transformation from Hotelbeds to HBX group)
