It has been approximately 1 year since the development and
implementation of your change management plan at AGC.
During that
time, Shawn provided high levels of feedback to John and the
board of directors. In addition, he ensured that employees at all
locations were aware of the
changes, up-to-date on progress made to integrate the changes,
and be informed about results from milestones delivered.
Honest communication has been
important to the success of this implementation. Your
recommendation to celebrate victories and reward those in the

3. organization that contributed to the
success of this initiative was well-received by everyone at
AGC. One day during the last stage of implementation, the
phone rings at your office.
"Hi, Shawn," you say. "How are you?"
"Doing well," he says. "I'm calling because I hear that the board
will soon be requesting a full report on the changes made to
AGC's global human capital
management program. The recommendations and guidance that
you provided to me and the core team have been useful as we
identified and diagnosed the root
causes of problems at AGC," he says. "It is time to execute
appropriate interventions at headquarters in the United States
and at the three subsidiaries. We
should get started on that now, even before the formal request."
"Okay," you say. "Would you send me what you're thinking
about? I'm heading out the door right now, but I can start
working on a report right away."
"Will do," he says. "Thanks again."
An hour later, Shawn's e-mail arrives with the following list:
1. Develop a list of critical interventions that need to be
integrated at AGC.
2. Identify changes that you and the core team could recommend
to Shawn to optimize learning and development opportunities.

4. 3. Describe at least 1 training program that you would develop
to improve cultural diversity problems.
4. Describe the advantages of using cross-cultural teams.
5. Identify opportunities for improving global staffing and
recruiting strategies.

Key Assignment Draft
Additional Information:
The board at AGC needs a status update on your change
management project. Shawn wants to bring you in to consult
about how this

7. should be handled and what challenges may be in store for him
during this feedback process. Shawn asks you to write an
executive report for John and the
board of directors regarding the change management process
and all progress made in resolving the global human capital
management problems associated
with AGC. Shawn meets you for lunch to discuss what he needs.
"It's good to see you," he says.
"Thanks for calling," you say. "I have enjoyed working with you
on this project."

8. "I'll get right to the point," he says. "We need you to develop an
executive report of the overall plan and all activities completed
to date. This report should include
an overview regarding the value of human capital management,
various human capital management problems, leadership styles
and their impact on
organizational cultures, the steps in your change management
plan, diagnostics, data analysis, action planning, and
interventions implemented. This list is not
all-inclusive."
"Okay," you say. "Is there anything else that needs to be
included in the report?"
"Glad you ask," he says. "You need to provide responses to
some questions, as well. I'll send a contract that spells
everything out."
"Very good," you say.

9. The next day, Shawn's contract arrives, and it itemizes all of the
requirements for the report that he talked about at lunch.
