Assignment Description
Weekly tasks or assignments (Individual or Group Projects) will
be due by Monday and late submissions will be assigned a late
penalty in accordance with the late penalty policy found in the
syllabus. NOTE: All submission posting times are based on
midnight Central Time.
Respond to the following scenario with your thoughts, ideas,
and comments. Be substantive and clear, and use research to
reinforce your ideas.
Additional Information:
Both you and Shawn realize that without significant levels of
change, AGC will not survive in its present global environment.
It is important to use a change management process to
appropriately diagnose the problems at AGC and determine the
root causes. You both met with the 12 members of the cross-
cultural core team to begin the change process. After the
meeting, you and Shawn get together to compare notes and to
discuss next steps.
"John told me he wants us to provide him with the details about
our change management plan for AGC," Shawn says.
"Sure," you say. "A PowerPoint presentation like we did last
time would probably work well. I think we could cover
everything in 10–12 slides (plus title and reference slides) with
speaker notes of 200–250 words per slide."
"John wants to see a step-by-step plan with explanations," he
says. "He was fairly specific in an e-mail about what he wants. I

5. can forward it to you so we can both be on the same page."
"Okay," you say. "I'll look for that so I can put the presentation
together."
Later that afternoon, Shawn's e-mail arrives with the following
list of components that must be covered in the presentation:
A step-by-step plan for change management and justifications
for each step
An analysis of the current state of AGC. (i.e., What are the
problems in this company that have led to the development of
Shawn’s team?)
A list of the potential benefits you can expect from the change
management plan
The reasoning behind the need for a diagnosis of AGC and why
it is considered one of the most critical components of the
team’s plan
An explanation of the diagnostic process that was applied and
the type of data that was collected
In addition to John's list, you determine that the following
questions must be addressed, as well:
What would happen if the diagnostic step was not conducted?
What would happen if the diagnostic step was poorly researched
and evaluated?
What types of data will be gathered, from whom, and how will
they be analyzed?
Based on the diagnosis of this organization, what have you
determined to be the potential root cause (or causes) of its
existing problems?
Please reply with a 100 word reply to this students posting! His
name is Luke!
In order to implement change successfully at AGC
Shawn and his team should follow the META model of change.
This model entails 8 steps as follows: entry of consultant,
contracting, diagnosis, new model, planning, intervention,
monitoring/evaluation, and stabilization (Colorado Technical

6. University, 2015). When following any method of change,
change itself is often met with problems. These problems could
be anything from resistance to change, denial for the need for
change, not enough buy-in, mistrust of management and poor
conduction of the change model itself. Shawn and his team need
to prepare to the best of their abilities for these problems and
have readily available solutions or rebuttals/justifications. For
example, the team needs to be able to show those unwilling to
change or who are in denial that there is a true need by
reiterating or showing data of internal forces, such as low
employee satisfaction from surveys, or external forces, such as
competition taking our potential profits shows through balance
sheet numbers (Colorado Technical University, 2015).
Hopefully, by performing the diagnostic function of the change
model, the team will have enough information to be able to
clarify the problems with both quantitative and qualitative data
to convince people that a problem exists and that it is important
to make change, thus creating buy-in (Colorado Technical
University, 2015). If the barriers and problems are properly
identified then this step should be relatively easy to convey for
buy-in purposes. However, actually executing each step of the
change model properly is what will help Shawn and his team
anticipate most problems or be flexible enough to deal with
unanticipated problems. For example, the first step in deciding
who to use as a consultant can be very critical; people need to
trust in the person morally and also in their skill sets (Colorado
Technical University, 2015). This person needs to be seen as a
savior of sorts verses the enemy. Secondly, the contracting step
needs to be effective, roles needs to be established, access
granted and honest expected outcomes need to be agreed upon
before the consultant starts to diagnose the issues (Colorado
Technical University, 2015). Additionally, properly planning
and implementing interventions at all levels of the organization
will help Shawn and the team have open communication to act
proactively but be flexible and trusted enough to act on
unanticipated problems (Colorado Technical University, 2015).

7. Lastly, to make sure that the people view change as positive
verses negative the team needs to be transparent with their goals
and their plans. People need to know what to expect and in what
time period to expect it and how it will help them individually
and as a company. They need to feel important in the process
and heard. This can be achieved by creating specific
interventions to bridge any gap that exists in communication
and increase access to information, training, and career
development that comes with the changes made through the
change model.
