Assignment
Option I: Diagnostic Model Analysis
Leaders and managers use diagnostic models to understand the magnitude of change and the processes and systems that may be impacted.
After a diagnostic model is used to assess the magnitude of change and how the organization will be impacted, change strategies can then be determined. An analogy can be made to the diagnosis of an illness. Think about the patient who comes to the doctor with a sore throat. The doctor runs a battery of tests indicating that a streptococcus infection exists, for example. The diagnosis has been made and a strong antibiotic is prescribed. Similarly, managers may use a diagnostic model as a doctor uses tests-to make a diagnosis and select strategies accordingly.
