Traditional organization development theory and systems thinking

Prepare a presentation of 8-10 slides, not including the title slide and reference slide, that explains the change management strategy you are recommending.

Introduction

Effective change leaders are familiar with traditional organization development theory and systems thinking currently being used in large group settings. The idea that a community needs to become dissatisfied with its current state, visualize a preferred future, and initiate first steps to overcome the resistance to change is a powerful moving force.

In this assessment, you will create a presentation that captures the main points from the stakeholder analysis, findings, recommendations, and adoption strategies. Your presentation should be designed with appropriate visuals and text on slides that could be delivered to a live audience. Potentially your presentation, or an adaptation thereof, could be used in a live presentation in a context outside this course, where a talk on change management principles would be useful.
