explain the process of organizational change

There are many different models that are used to explain the process of organizational

change. As a leader, your perspective on how the organization changes can impact the

success of the change. You must remember that for an organization to make a change,

individuals within the organization must transition from their current behavior to a new

behavior. As a leader, your job is to help them understand why they need to change and how

they can change.

With this in mind, we are going to explore the issues associated with culture and leading

organizational change.

 Choose a change that you would like to lead in your current organization or in another

organization that you are involved with.

 Describe the change and why you think it needs to change.

 Which model of organizational change would help you to move forward with this

change?

 What challenges would you face at the individual and team level?

 What guidelines would you combine with the model of organizational change you

have chosen to successfully lead this change?

 How would you take steps to create a culture that embraces change?

Instructions to Learners

Locate and research at least two sources to discover additional information about your topic

choice.  Use your text to create a foundation for the theory.  This must be a concise

evaluation of the case, so provide information on your understanding of the application of

theory to the marketing choices.

Develop your analysis using the four following sections:

Section 1: Introduction and situational analysis: Describe the change model(s) giving

appropriate background information, that you would incorporate into a change initiative.

This is also where you do your situational analysis – identifying factors related to the

individual(s) involved (consider the readings from this module), company and managerial

practices and policies, external factors such as economic pressure, and any other aspects of the situation that you believe helped create the current situation and affect the leader’s

perspective.

Section 2: Analysis using change theory: Consider the theories that are appropriate in the

chapters assigned to this module. Use those theories to analyze the situation you have

defined and create a clear foundation for your view of the situation. Your opinions are

important and useful, but not sufficient to make a case for a specific course of action. The

theory, models, and concepts that you find in your readings are what you must use to create

a valid argument for your suggested course of action.

Section 3: Conclusion and recommendations. Up to now, you have been analyzing and

comparing options.  Here is where you pull together the different threads of your analysis

and determine a course of action.  Also, make recommendations about what the company

should do in the future.  Make sure your justifications clearly flow from your analysis.  Make

managerial and policy recommendations for future change endeavors.

Section 4: References. List at least two sources (in addition to the sources provided in the

module and your text) where you located additional information to support your views.

General guidance: Include a title page, and label the four sections. Your paper should be 2-4

pages in length, not including the title and reference pages.  All citations should be in APA 6th or 7th

Edition format.  Double space your paper, use Times New Roman, 12-point font, with one

inch margins.

Case Study 3: An Inconvenient HR Challenge

As the hospital administrator for Forest Glenn Medical Center, you oversee human

resources functions for the medical center. Recently, within the outpatient medical team,

three of the five doctors have submitted resignation letters effective immediately. You

recognize that this presents a big problem because the outpatient medical team is a

high-performance area in the medical center and cannot function with two full-time

physicians alone. You immediately organize a meeting with the director of the outpatient

medical team, Dr. Caron, to determine why these physicians are so determined to

resign immediately.

You meet with Dr. Caron and he states that he is just as surprised as you are that three

of his team members have decided to leave suddenly. He is at a complete loss as to

why they have decided to leave. After meeting with Dr. Caron, you decide to set up

individual meetings with the three physicians, Dr. Lowe, Dr. Howell, and Dr. Cardenas,

to process and discuss their resignations.

Upon meeting with Dr. Lowe and his purpose for resigning, he states, “I just could not

continue working for a tyrannical leader like Dr. Caron. While I love providing care to our

patients and working for Forest Glenn, I cannot live up to the standards that Dr. Caron

wants. Nor does he even let me try.” You decide to delve a little deeper into this

complaint and mention to Dr. Lowe that there is a process in place to submit complaints

for a hostile work environment. He states that he did not want to get anyone in trouble,

and that he would rather find employment elsewhere.

You then meet with Dr. Howell and Dr. Cardenas, who appear to corroborate with Dr.

Lowe’s reasoning on resigning from Forest Glenn. You approach them with the

possibility of talking to Dr. Caron about these complaints and whether they would be

willing to stay while you search for suitable replacements if the hostile work environment

is alleviated. Both Dr. Howell and Cardenas agree that they would be willing to stay for

two months while you address the issues with Dr. Caron in the outpatient medical team.

You immediately schedule a meeting with Dr. Caron to discuss the complaints and to

initiate necessary steps for the establishment of a productive and effective work

environment.

community-based resources that assist with addressing the primary needs of the two client populations

Instructions:

Human Services Professionals are charged with understanding client needs at individual levels and much more complex levels. Addressing client needs involves being able to understand the resources that are available as well. Though we work independently and under supervision, we work in concert with our colleagues and with other programs and services within the community. Utilizing diverse skillsets allow an agency/organization to offer a broader and more adaptable range of products and services. Diverse teams are more productive, perform better, and provide the opportunity for continued education and professional growth.

For the Module 05 Written assignment, you are going to develop a three-page paper in which you will address the following four steps:

Step 1: Identify two different client populations. Examples of client populations are as such:

  • Clients Identifying as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered,
  • Clients with a Physical Impairment
  • Clients with Mental Health Diagnosis(es)
  • Clients who are Elderly
  • Children and Adolescents
  • Clients Identifying with an Ethnic Group
  • Clients Identifying with a Religious or Spiritual Group

Step 2: With the two client populations that you have indicated, identify 3-5 primary needs associated with many persons with this population.

Step 3: Develop a hypothetical scenario for both populations that you have chosen. Be certain that you provide specifics into the problem with both hypothetical scenarios.

Step 4: Identify specific community-based resources that assist with addressing the primary needs of the two client populations and the problems associated with the scenarios that you have developed. Conduct a search of local resources within your local community and national resources and provide detailed commentary specific to these identified resources.

APA Requirement: Please ensure that you meet the page length requirement and that your paper is double-spaced throughout. Also, please ensure that you have cited all facts throughout your work with parenthetical in-text citations and that you have a Reference Page at the end of your work.

individual health insurance policies

individual health insurance policies

Currently, individual health insurance policies are much more expensive and/or do not offer the same services as group insurance. However, in most states, the law does not allow people to form a group for the purpose of getting health insurance. Should it be legal for people to form a group themselves, such as through the internet, for the purpose of getting a group insurance policy?
