Assignment: Change Management
Congratulations! After all your hard work, you have been promoted from your position as project leader to Director of the Wells Clinical Research Institute, with the condition that you will implement a new data management software program within your first three months of the new position.
Here are some of the issues with which you will be working:
• The "old" data management system crashed three times in the last month, and it cost your research site 3 days of work (impacting 2 major protocols).
• The lead data coordinator had also competed for the "director" position that you received, and is very bitter about being "passed over" for the promotion.
• The new data management software was chosen by the information technology director of the Institute without any input from the data coordinator team.
• Your data coordinator staffing situation is in flux, as two of the six data coordinators have given notice of resignation, and one coordinator is out on medical leave for three more months.
• The "old" data management records have been converted to the new format and the information technology department is ready to upload the new software package when you give them permission to move forward.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also Include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
