Prepare Paper reflecting the benefits of the recommended change
Your executive vice president (EVP) has decided to restructure six of the current business units into one sector structure. He has asked you to put together two deliverables for his team to review.
Part 1
You are to write an Executive Summary prepare Paper reflecting the benefits of the recommended change. Include the following in your white paper:
Short introduction about the alignment between organizational structure and organizational strategy
Productivity improvement analysis for each organizational structure option
Potential cost of each organizational structure option
Potential schedule for the merger
Your recommendation and why
Part 2
For this part, you are to write a Change Proposal Paper of 2,500 words in which you reflect upon your recommendation from Part 1.
Your EVP is very excited to get started on the change plan for the business unit merger project that you recommended in your Executive Summary White Paper. Before he signs off on the launch date for the project, the EVP wants to see a proposed change plan. Each of the impacted six divisions have approximately 830 employees, and each are organized in the following functions:
Project management
Manufacturing operations
Engineering
Quality
Information technology
Human resources
Accounting
Public relations
Procurement
He was very impressed with your ideas on a customer service organization and wants to include this new function in the new organization. The change plan should include the following:
Assessments
Examples of the return on investment (ROI)
Training required
Who will be involved in the full change planning
Communication plan
Places for potential economies of scale in the merger
Action plan
Schedule on the implementation of the new structure
He would also like to know what you need him and the other executive team members to do in support of this project.
What you learned about your client team in the previous change assignments is that they like to see charts with clear objective facts and the latest research in support of the ideas you are presenting in the documents that they review prior to the full team discussion. This is a critical project, so you will want to develop a standard list of questions to interview each of the seven executives to gather their input regarding this project. Be sure to build this diagnostic data collection into the overall project schedule.
Note: You may use applicable prior assignments from this course only as part of the development of this Change Plan.
You should use at least 6 valid graduate-level references and APA formatting
