Technology changes
There are 2 parts to it. For the first part I want to go with “Technology changes” as the organizational problem to solve.
PART ONE
Assessment Description
The purpose of this assignment is to identify an organizational problem to solve within your current workplace or industry by using an affinity diagram to brainstorm the root causes of the organizational problem and potential solutions for addressing it.
For this assignment, the first step is to identify an organizational problem to solve.
This is an opportunity for you to apply your learning while addressing a real-world problem. After you have identified a possible organizational problem, utilize the Topic 1 Resources to help you narrow and specify the root cause for the problem.
Completing an affinity diagram will not only help you identify the root causes for the problem but also to determine the scope of influence you can have in reaching a potential solution. Keep in mind that this exercise is meant to identify a viable solution within the scope of influence in which you are directly involved, ultimately allowing you to be an agent of change.
For this assignment, address the following:
Complete the affinity diagram action steps outlined in the attached “Brainstorming With an Affinity Diagram” resource, including the “Five Whys Root Cause Analysis” section. This can be done using online mind mapping resources like those found in the study materials, by using post-it notes, or through the use of Excel or Microsoft Word documents and tables.
When constructing the affinity diagram, be sure to complete all six steps described in the resource.
Note that you will reference these root causes again within your “Final Business Proposal” in Topic 8. In addition, evidence of revision from instructor feedback will be assessed in the “Final Business Proposal” in Topic 8.
Submit both the completed affinity diagram and the “Five Whys Root Cause Analysis” to your instructor.
2ND PART
Assessment Description
The purpose of this assignment is to construct a problem statement based on the organizational problem you have identified previously in your current workplace or industry.
Now that you have identified a potential problem, brainstormed the root causes, and determined how you might be able to influence change, you will construct a problem statement that can be used as the basis for an action research project. The problem statement must clearly articulate the single goal of the action research project and consider the influence of the organizational change that will occur.
Part of completing an action research project and enacting organizational change includes understanding how the problem is tied to the mission, vision, and values of all the involved stakeholders and how these will drive decision-making. The change that is enacted should be done to enable positive progress for your fellow coworkers and the organization at large. When developing your problem statement, you will also be asked to address the organizational problem and the potential solutions through a Christian worldview perspective.
To complete this assignment, address the following:
Review the Topic 1 resources and use what you have learned in the study materials to construct a problem statement for your action research project.
Utilize the “Writing a Problem Statement” resource, located in Topic 1 Resources, to construct your problem statement.
For your submission, be sure to delete the template and sample worksheets provided. Submit only the completed “Writing a Problem Statement Worksheet” to your instructor.
Note that your problem statement will become part of your final business proposal that will be submitted in Topic 8. Evidence of revision from instructor feedback will be assessed on the final business proposal.
Prepare this assignment using effective business style writing. Refer to the resource, “Effective Business Writing,” located in Class Resources, for specific guidelines and formatting requirements.
