In order to survive, every organization must innovate and change. Just as change is inevitable, so also is the resistance to it. Most resistance to change come from those who are not involved in the innovation, therefore they prefer the status quo. A manager, or the innovator of change must, must however, not ignore the resistance for change. Oftentimes people who resist change have several reasons to do so. People have several reasons to resist changes that conflict with their self-interests, such as a job loss. The preeminent step in the implementation of change, is getting others to understand the need for the change in the first place. As a manager, once the reason for the resistance to change has been diagnosed, like a well-founded fear of job loss, I will go through the three stages of achieving behavioral and attitudinal change: The first stage is the Unfreezing. This is the stage where data are gathered and analyzed, and the awareness of the problem and the need for change would be brought to everyone’s attention. Next, I would introduce the intervention process, using emotion and logic to persuade them to accept the necessary change. The third stage would be the Freezing stage during which the change, if accepted, is rewarded.
Force-field analysis states that change is the “result of the competition between two driving and restraining forces.” Driving forces are the things that provide the motivation for change, while restraining forces are the barriers to change within an organization. Both the driving and restraining forces should be analyzed in order to have the ability to selectively remove the change-restraining forces, while strengthening those that enable the implementation of change.
In my company, the driving forces of change are those at the frontline of the operations, — the mid-managers, and those in direct contact with customers. They are the ones relating customer complaints, regarding perceived necessary operational changes to upper management. Although, looking at the organization from their perspective, those in the upper management believe that they are the driving forces for change. They made the decision to lay-off several seasonal employees in early September, in order to reduce payroll expenditure. However, the busiest season is not yet over, and the remaining sales associates notice the amount of revenue lost daily, due to employee shortage. Several customers, in different retail locations have complained about lack adequate amount of attention they always receive in our stores. It is very difficult to give the type of attention to details that each customer deserves, because there is usually one associate in each store daily. Unfortunately, customers are not the only ones affected by this practice, employee morale is also diminished.

For the final part of your course project, you will create a presentation using Microsoft PowerPoint (approximately 10 to 15 slides) of the project you have compiled over the past 4 modules. The presentation should be an overview of the information contained in the project plan. The Final Project PowerPoint presentation should include the synopsis of the following:

• Project Selection
• Work breakdown into the three phases of the project life cycle
• Scope statement
• Communications plan
• Risk analysis
• Project Budget
• Project Schedule
• Resource Plan
• Reconciliation of project tasks as per life cycle phases, process groups and project management knowledge areas.

Although your report will include some discussion of the technical nature of the study project, that discussion should be brief and only to provide background about the project. Similarly, avoid lengthy discussion about the histories or backgrounds of companies involved in the project.

The emphasis of the report must be on the “how, what, why, when, who” of the management of the Investigation Project. Avoid lengthy technical discussions, or lengthy discussion about the company history, technical requirements, or details of the actual work done in the project. These are not project management topics.

The purpose of the report is to show the instructor what you have learned from the investigation project about project management. Thus, avoid discussions that could lead to the conclusion that little or nothing additional about project management was learned from the investigation project!

Also, make sure to include the following at the end of the proposal:

1. Appendices. Appendices can include any documentation or materials you wish to add to substantiate your report. However, any material you include in the Appendix must be directly referenced somewhere in the body of the report. Do not include material in the Appendices that is not referenced in the report.
2. Try to include figures, diagram, tables, charts, etc. in the body of the report. This will make the report more readable and interesting. For example, instead of describing a Gantt chart used in the Investigation Project, include the chart (or part of it) in the report. Show samples of actual schedules, memos, budget reports, etc. These can be included in the body of the report or in the Appendix.
3. Professional Quality: Spelling, grammatical, typing or other errors are unacceptable. As are all professional documents, your report will be judged as much for readability and appearance as for content. Carefully proof read the report before submitting it. A poorly written report will receive a lower grade.
4. All materials, notes, original documents, etc., should be handed in with the final report. These can be included in a separate file if necessary.

Your submission should follow the essentials of APA (i.e., cover page, double-spaced, 12 pt. font, reference section at the end, in-text citations, etc.).

Once a tutor is selected I will get you all the documents from the previous 4 modules.
