Delta Pacific Case Study

As the change leader for Delta Pacific Company (DPC), you know you need to determine potential organizational  barriers to change for the company’s goal of changing the culture from the more  traditional manufacturing environment to one of a contemporary consulting  environment. Now it’s time to create your strategy to combat barriers to change:

• Assess the potential barriers to changing an organizational culture
• Analyze change strategies appropriate for this type of change
• Determine potential employee resistance behaviors
• Determine the best way to influence employees in the right direction

Since you are the change leader, it  is your responsibility to consider that there will be organizational and human barriers to change. As part of your role, you should take proactive measures and design a change strategy to address potential barriers and resistance.

Conduct academic research and create a plan to present to the CEO and board in which you complete the following change strategy for barriers and resistance:

• Explanation of potential organizational barriers that are most likely to occur for this type of change.
• Description of the employee resistance behaviors.
• Explanation of your strategy to overcome the barriers and resistance.
• Discussion of your strategy recommendations to  overcome barriers and influence employees in the right direction.
• Remember that this is a proposal. Make sure to format your paper properly for your proposal. A proposal is a persuasive  document, so make sure to use proper language and tone. Remember, you are the change leader, and you are writing to the CEO. So use a tone in your proposal that is specific to your audience (the CEO). 

Include your APA-formatted  reference page with at least two credible sources.

  

Assignment 2: Program Design Elements

Program Design

With the continuation of Assignment 2, it is important to notice and appreciate the congruity provided through systematic program planning and evaluation. A well-developed program design facilitates the alignment necessary for an effective intervention, enabling the program to address the problem through appropriate services that–ideally!–result in positive outcomes.

This week you further delineate your program design, crafting elements visually and creating a time line using a Gantt chart.

To prepare for this week’s section of Assignment 2:

• Refer      to the information presented in this week’s Learning Resources as you      consider all of the elements of your program.
• Begin      to visualize or draft a graphical representation of your program based on      the theory or model you have chosen (Week 3 [see week 3 discussion paper attached]) as demonstrated in      Chapter 8 of Designing and Managing Programs. If your theory      or model of choice does not have such a visual representation associated      with it then you will need to create one.
• Also,      in this design, state your mission, goal(s), and objectives for your      program. State all activities that will assist in meeting each objective      and outline this in a Gantt chart with time lines for implementing the      activities.

By tomorrow Friday 01/04/19 by 6 pm

In APA format with a minimum of 6 scholarly references, write a 3- to 5-page paper and create accompanying documents that address the following level 1 and 2 headers:

1) Stakeholder Involvement in Developing Mission Statement, Goals, and Objectives (developed in Week 5)

a) Explain why it is important for representatives of your target population to be involved in developing the goals and objectives for the program.

b) Identify which stakeholders you would involve in the planning process and discuss two or more strategies for facilitating their involvement.

2) Program Design (developed this week 6, with elements developed in Week 5 [see week 6 discussion paper attached])

a) Create a visual representation of your program design (e.g., a table or graph) that includes the program’s mission statement, goal(s), objectives, and activities to meet the objectives (http://www.ganttchart.com/Examples.html)

b) Develop a Gantt chart with time lines for implementing all activities that will assist in meeting each of your program objectives.

P.S. Always include an introduction ending with a purpose statement and conclusion as required per APA format guidelines. Refer to previous attached papers in the file area to complete this assignment.

·  Chapter 7, “Identifying and Writing Mission Statements, Goals, and Objectives”

The authors provide guidance for developing a mission statement, program goals, and objectives in this chapter.

Chapter 4 outlines the program planning steps and emphasizes the importance of including your target population and additional stakeholders in the design process. Chapter 5 reemphasizes this focus on the target audience as the authors discuss the use of marketing principles in relation to program development and implementation. Chapter 8 discusses the importance of utilizing strategies that are aligned with the theoretical foundations of a program and presents recommendations for developing suitable activities. In Chapter 9, the authors note that even implementation requires planning; they provide guidance for implementation planning and advise how this can also support evaluation.

· Chapter 7, “Setting Goals and Objectives”

Chapter 6 introduces the notion of developing the program hypothesis as a critical feature of program design and a precursor to setting goals and objectives, which is addressed in Chapter 7. Both of these topics serve as a critical link between the earlier phases of problem analysis and needs assessment and the forthcoming design of services and program evaluation.

Review Chapter 6, “Selecting the Appropriate Intervention Strategy”

Chapter 8, “Designing Effective Programs”

Review Chapter 6, which discusses the connection between the program hypothesis and service decisions. Chapter 8 addresses how to design elements of a program systematically in order to promote consistency and attend to the necessary details.
