Instructions

Organizational change initiatives  are a team effort. It is the job of the leadership team to ensure that transition is a success. To do so, the right leaders must be put in place,  and each must hold a thorough understanding of their roles and responsibilities.

Examine the Delta Pacific Case Study, then analyze the following:

• What are the challenges facing Delta Pacific?
• What change initiative would be most effective to implement within this organization? (Use the Rasmussen Resource Library if you need assistance with identifying change models.)
• What type of change leaders need to be put in place? (Ex.: Change Lead, Change Managers, Change Analyst, etc.) 
• What departments, areas, and stakeholders will each leader be responsible for?
• Where will each change leader be most effective?
• What roles will each change leader need to play at their level of influence?

Leadership Structure Plan

Utilizing the above information, create a Leadership Structure Plan that includes the following:

• At least three change leader positions to be put in place for the change initiative.
• Description of each change leader’s roles and responsibilities.
• Account of departments they will lead.
• A short description of how each position will effectively aid in the success of the initiative.

Note: When creating  your plan, think in terms of a job description and job analysis, and the detail used to specifically identify the roles and responsibilities of each particular job assignment. Â While this particular project does not have a page requirement, keep in mind that a thorough plan  should be no less than 3 pages in length.

The paper should include an APA formatted cover page and reference page.

1.Provides the required three change leadership roles including a detailed explanation of their roles and effectiveness towards initiative success.

2.Provides a detailed description of at least three change leadership roles and 

responsibilities.

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

It is estimated that more than 6% of the U.S. population will experience posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in their lifetime (National Center for PTSD, 2010). This debilitating disorder often interferes with an individual’s ability to function in daily life. Common symptoms of anxiousness and depression frequently lead to substance abuse issues and even physical ailments. For this Discussion, as you examine the Thompson Family Case Study in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat clients presenting with PTSD.

To prepare:

· Review this week’s Learning Resources and reflect on the insights they provide.

· View the media Academic Year in Residence: Thompson Family Case Study, and assess the client in the case study ( Below )

· For guidance on assessing the client, refer to pages 137–142 of the Wheeler text in this week’s Learning Resources.

Write an explanation of your observations of the client William in Thompson Family Case Study, including behaviors that align to the PTSD criteria in DSM-5. Then, explain therapeutic approaches you might use with this client, including psychotropic medications if appropriate. Finally, explain expected outcomes for the client based on these therapeutic approaches. Support your approach with evidence-based literature.

Stakeholder support is necessary for a successful change proposal project implementation. Consider your internal stakeholders, such as the facility, unit or health care setting where the change process is situated, and your external stakeholders, like an individual or group outside the health care setting. Why is their support necessary to the success of your project, and how you will go about securing that support?
