Description
Assessment 1:
Leadership Simulation and written basis for change with considerations
Assessment
1 is focused on optimising the operations of a simulated business from the
perspective of a business leader who specifies the requirements for change.
Within this assessment Assignment 1 involves contextualizing and specifying
this requirement for change, including the need for change and the readiness
for change, in the form of a written Leader’s Programme Journal which should be
critically supported through the application of appropriate organizational
change theory.
A
description of a simulated organization or functional department (e.g. finance)
in need of change (can be real with a name change and a disclaimer). The
description should include a basic description of its market, ownership,
competition and operations. The description can be extended to include
diagnosis of external drivers acting on the business operations that may cause
it to optimise operations through a significant transformation. For assessment
1 you will write an illustrated Leader’s Programme Journal from the perspective
of a leader of this organisation who has recognised the need for optimising its
operations and are therefore initiating a programme to achieve and sustain a
correspondingly improved outcome for the business. You will also assess the
readiness of the organisation to undertake the change associated with the
proposed optimisation of its operations. Throughout your Journal you will
critically support your analysis with reference to theoretical structures and
models based upon discussions within the module and your own independent
research.
A
draft format for the Leader’s Programme Journal might include:
1.
Introduction and description of the organisation - 300 words
