Be sure your paper touches on the key elements of each as they pertain to your organization.
Please make sure: Please include paraphrased citations and references for each. The instructor do not allow direct quotes. If no minimum is listed. Cite consistently throughout each paragraph to support your points. Also be sure to double-space and indent paragraphs. I do not require an abstract.
The instructor would like to see an introduction, body and conclusion within your papers. If you need help please see the example APA paper on my writing help page.
Read Step 8 "Make It Stick". First, review the feedback from your instructor on Part 7. Use any new information you gained from the discussion and feedback from your instructor to revise and improve Part 7 of your project.
Next, compile Part 8 of your project, explaining the actions you will take to make change stick. How can you overcome tradition and emotion to keep the change in place rather than sliding back into old habits? How can you control the hiring process to be sure fresh faces coming in to the team also support the new vision?
You may find page 175 helpful in reviewing the key points of what to do and not do when setting short term goals. Be sure your paper touches on the key elements of each as they pertain to your organization.
Compile all 8 portions of your paper into just one word document for final submission.
Next, use your final paper to create a final presentation. Pretend as though you are going to present your change proposal to someone above you in your organization to gain their approval and support for your desired change and plan of action to achieve it. Your presentation should summarize the key points of all eight parts of your final paper.
Your presentation should include either speaker notes or audio - indicating what you would say if you were actually giving the presentation in real life. Do not copy from your paper into the speaker notes. You would not read to your audience, so don't copy directly from your paper. Write in the speaker notes or say in the audio what you would say in person.
Your presentation should be a minimum of 25 slides long, include a title slide, references slide, and highlight the key points of each element of your paper. Use graphics as appropriate, ensuring they add value to your presentation.
The originality requirements for your paper also apply to your presentation. Do not copy from other resources or websites into your slides. Your slides and speaker notes should be in your own words.
