​​ Part -2: Essay: Drastic Action or Evolutionary Adaptation: An Organisation Development Perspective Research has shown that organisations change primarily in two ways: through drastic action and through evolutionary adaptation. In the former case, change is discontinuous and often forced on the organization or mandated by top management in the wake of major technological innovations, by a scarcity or abundance of critical resources, or by sudden changes in the regulatory, legal, competitive, or political landscape (Meyerson, 2011, H8R) In this essay, research and discuss these two viewpoints with a focus on organisational development. In effect, you will be focussing on theories of organisational behaviour, organisational dynamics, organisational culture and change management. The essay must be written in your own words and appropriate referencing and citation must be used in all external references (preferred: Harvard referencing system: Your trainer/assessor will provide you with referencing guidelines. There is no specific structure of essay but it will be expected that you will present your essay with at least three identifiable sections; Introduction, body (main headings) and conclusion. The essay must contain sources/references from a wide range of publications including books, magazines, journals and online resources. Only online references will not be accepted. In an event where a book or a publication is accessed online or an electronic format, it should be appropriate referenced using the referencing guide. The essay must contain your own views on the topic and not just the review of the literature. The contents must be coherent and presented in a logical sequence (not just copy and paste from various sources) leading to a conclusion. Word Limit: 1500 words Assessment Criteria The following assessment criteria will be used for marking this assessment task;  Structure and presentation of the essay  Coherence and logical flow of essay contents  Originality and uniqueness in writing  Concise analysis of literature/theory in own words  Own take on the topic and opinions on issues  Strength of the issues identified, discussed  Relevance of the issues identified and discussed to the topic  Conclusion and closing remarks  Range of references used to support the arguments  Appropriate referencing Part -3: Implement Organisation Development Plan Description: Implementing an organisation development would typically require extensive involved of key stakeholders, consultative processes, training and development activities and feedback/review. In this assessment task, you will use the organisation development plan developed in Assessment Taski, in which you were part of a team. However, you will be completing this task as in individual task. Assume that you have been given the responsibility to implement part of the plan within one area of the organisation. For simulation purpose, you will assume the role of a project officer and your trainer/assessor will play the role of your supervisor/manager. Task: Part A: With a view to implement one of the training programs in a proposed department (e.g. training in using company's new database system) develop the following processes and documents;  A proposed training program facilitated with help of an external person/organisation  A brief information flyer (for communicating to all the participants) that describes the need, and perceived benefits of the program for both the staffs and the organisation  Proposed training structure; e.g. individual or group training (or both) and why  Proposed training and group/collaborative activities based on the strategic priority Part B: This part will need to be presented to the class audience, assuming them to be your organisation's audience. This part assumes that the activities in Part A were facilitated and completed. You will also need to develop a short survey sheet that asks the audience about;  Effectiveness of the training program in their view  Effectiveness of the training strategies  The way you managed the implementation process  You presentation You may use suitable question types (maximum 5 questions) and provide the forms to the audience prior to presentation. Explain to the audience what their role is and what they are supposed to do.  An argument between two different staff members about data access levels  Questions from two other staff members about their future role and responsibilities in view of impending changes  Complaint from approximately half the participants that the program went too fast (pace and time) and there were too many task that they had to do in their own time Based on the above, prepare a presentation for the class audience explaining how you managed to resolve these problems and strategies adopted to ensure a cohesive and collaborative environment. Also, explain what alternative strategies you will develop to overcome the complaints.
