Change Management
The purpose of this assignment is to prepare your plan for your first team development session and then to receive feedback from your peers in the unit discussion and from your instructor. After receiving feedback from your instructor you will conduct your session and prepare a report on the experience for submission in Unit 4. In your plan, you will indicate what you wish to achieve in your first session, the learning discipline you propose to apply with your group (Personal Mastery, Mental Models or Shared Vision), and the exercise you will use to promote capacity in your team with respect to your chosen discipline. By creating a plan for your group exercise, you will demonstrate your understanding of change management principles before you try to apply them.
