Summary of Assignments, Points, Due Dates and Submission Information
Assignments for Module One
Assignment R 1.1 Stakeholder Interview Discussion Board
According to The Change Leader's Roadmap, Wake-up calls are “a-ha” moments—awareness of an opportunity to be pursued or a threat to be removed. They can surface anywhere in the organization, at any level. A wake-up call may come in the form of a dramatic event, such as the competition beating you to the market with a similar or better product, or it may be the accumulation of many small indicators that finally culminate in a loud and meaningful message. Examples: loss of market share, new technological advancements in the industry, mergers of key competitors, the required closure of a once valuable factory, the initiation of a hostile unionization effort, or an increase in turnover of critical talent.
Interview at least 3 stakeholders in your organization to get their input regarding opportunities to be pursued and/or threats to be removed in your organization and may have potential to serve as the focus of your Transformational Change Project. Share the results of your stakeholder interviews in this discussion board. Ask clarifying and/or critical questions of each other regarding the feasibility of turning one of the suggestions into the focus of a Transformational Change Project.
