OLCU 615 Week 3 Assignment and Rubric
Length: Paper: 5 - 7 double-spaced pages (excluding title and
references pages)
Due: Week 3 by Sunday Midnight
Value: 200 Points for 20% of the grade
Post: Week 3 Assignments
Developing the knowledge and skills to facilitate change begins
with understanding how change impacts
you and others. In this assignment you will apply Bridges’
Model of Transition to a personal and/or
professional watershed event (significant change) you have
experienced, and reflect on what you have
learned that will enable you to more effectively facilitate

9. organizational change.
A well-written paper should be 5 - 7 double-spaced pages of
content, and adhere to APA standards; the
page count doesn’t include the title and reference pages. Your
analysis must be supported with citations
and references from 2 or more academic sources, adhere to APA
standards, and include the following
sections:
Watershed Situation Description
Recall an event that was a Watershed: a turning point in your
life – a critical event that marked a
significant change for you personally and/or professionally.
• Describe the event and discuss how and why it was different
from other "meaningful" or even
"monumental" milestones. In other words, what made it a
watershed event?
Watershed Situation Analysis
William Bridges’ model of Transitions suggests there are three
stages of transition and change. While this
may be an event from a long time ago, try and recall your
feelings and actions. Drawing upon those
feelings and actions, respond to the next three questions, to the
best of your ability. Although it may be
somewhat challenging to put a past event into this framework;
however, the model suggests that no
matter the transition, we will have experienced these stages.
• How did you experience each of the five stages of Endings:
disengagement, dismantling,
disidentification, disenchantment, and disorientation?

10. • How did you experience the Neutral Zone? Which of the steps
did you take to finding meaning
in this stage?
• Describe the New Beginning. How did you know it was a new
Beginning?
Reflective Analysis
• Identify and discuss three specific insights you gained through
this reading and writing activity,
about individual response to change that will enable you to
more effectively facilitate change in
the workplace
