Select a Diagnostic Model (see Chapter Five) that you utilize to review aspects of change activities and
actions that have been taken by the companies chosen. Here we are looking at
the parts of the companies as well as their strategies, as surmised by your
research in Part 1. It is acknowledged that this information will not be
complete, as you are looking at these companies as an outsider; but a
thoroughly researched paper will give enough data to allow some (well-defended)
assumptions on your part.
Heres what to
do:
1. Choose one Diagnostic Model (i.e.
6-box, 7S, congruence, or etc.) to apply to the two chosen companies. Choose
the model which you feel best identifies and measures the relevant aspects of
the organizations performance and therefore the diagnostic choices made will
affect your findings.
2. Apply the data obtained in your
research through an analysis of the appropriate chosen model. This will allow
you to create a diagnosis of where each company is today (as per the criteria
of the model).
3. Create a SWOT Analysis for each
of the two chosen companies change plans/programs, utilizing information
obtained in the diagnosis. (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats.)
4. Compare the two company analyses
to each other and offer your perspective (value judgment) of the effectiveness
of the changes made to date in each case.
5. Identify potential areas of
resistance that may occur and at least one strategy to respond to each. (This
will most likely come from your Weaknesses/Threats section of your SWOT. If
not, take another look at your SWOT.)
6. Write your paper including each
of the above sections, and analyses
