Assignment title: Information


1Choose a current issue in your workplace/business, such as merger/acquisition exercise, change in location or office premise and change/introduction of computer system such as HR system. This exercise gets you to figure out how you would design a large-scale change intervention program in relation to this issue. Give consideration to the following issues: How many people would it make sense to involve in the change program? Where and when would you hold it the program? How would you ensure that you have a representative cross sample of relevant people in the room at the same time? What data sources would you need to achieve this? How are the key decision makers in relation to this issue? What arguments will you use to get them to attend the meeting? The answer to this question would need to relate to the representatives who were identified by the students in answering the previous question. How will you structure the agenda of the meeting? What would be the best way of doing this? How would you run the actual meeting? What technology would you need to make it work well? What follow-up actions would you plan to ensure that actions and decisions flowed from it? What possible funding sources might you draw on to finance the meeting? As a result of considering such questions, what new issues emerge for you, as a large-scale change intervention agent, to consider? What specific skills would you need to make such an event work well? Which of these skills would you need to develop more.
