Assignment Description 

Library Research Assignment

You now have change programs in various stages of implementation at a large number of the 60 companies in your portfolio. Some of the companies are doing quite well, and others are stalling or are nonresponsive to the change initiatives being implemented. You have a feeling that there is resistance that is taking place, and you want to roll out some new concepts and ideas to help the leaders of these companies handle this resistance. A number of these leaders have asked you for ideas that would help them understand the resistance and to perhaps create action plans to address the issues involved. You presented a set of possible issues, which has prompted the line managers to ask for more specifics to increase the success of all the change initiatives.

Complete the following:

• What is      the relationship between change drivers and impediments to change in an      organization? 
• Explain      different external and internal change drivers, and describe their impact      on people in an organization. 
• What are      the applicable models and strategies to overcome resistance to change? 
• How does      your current set of recommendations demonstrate either a reduction in the      resistance to change or the need to adjust some of the change drivers? 
• What are      at least 5 specific recommended steps that can be taken in the present      situation described?

Note: You have the choice of the following delivery options for this assignment:

• A paper of      1,800–2,200 words 
• A      PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes totaling 2,000 words (plus      or minus 10%) 
• Visio flow      charts with an accompanying script of 2,000 words 
• Viseo with      accompanying script with 2,000 words (plus or minus 10%) 
• Smart      charts

Note: Use a minimum of 1 chart in your analysis or description of a model or strategy being recommended, and use 1 flow chart to visually show the stages in your recommendation.

Be sure to use APA formatting and valid graduate-level references.
