Assignment:
For this unit, you will be making an oral presentation of your final project. Your final paper must have a minimum of 8 scholarly resources (peer-reviewed journal articles) in addition to the text book.
The final oral presentation will be made using PowerPoint or a similar software application. You may use the presenting capabilities of PowerPoint to record your presentation or you may use another application such as Screencast-o-matic, or Adobe Captivate, or iMovie. Note that presentations that do not have the oral component will automatically receive a D. In order to fully develop your topic, your presentation will comprise 12 to 15 slides.
You must upload the videos to YouTube or Vimeo and then share the URL for the assignment. You may find the instructions at this site helpful. https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/10263-powerpoint-upload-youtube.html
Please ensure that you follow standard APA formatting. Your presentation must have a cover page and a reference page. Be sure your presentation is organized, clear, and grammatically correct.
In your final project, you will research a topic of your choice or analyze an organization (perform a case study) and apply the principles of change to that topic.
Potential topics
Choice 1:
Perform a case study - select a real world organization that is facing organizational challenges. Research those challenges, describe those challenges, and diagnose them by presenting one or more relevant, integrated OD interventions that could help the organization successfully adapt to those challenges using either internal consultants, external consultants, or both internal and external consultants.
Choice 2:
Alternatively, you may research an organizational development trend and explain how that change will impact organizations. Ensure that you incorporate the concepts that you have learned from the textbook and your other readings in a thorough manner.
If you have any questions about the topic, please consult with your instructor.
