Select a real case from an organization with which you are familiar and focus on the planning and implementation of an organizational change
Select a real case from an organization with which you are familiar. This case should focus on the planning and implementation (or attempted implementation) of an organizational change. For example, the change might have been the introduction of a computerized charting system; a change from team nursing to primary nursing; a new way of ordering supplies for your hospital; the introduction of a new dress code or a revised policy regarding personnel issues; or the merger of two departments with distinct cultures. The possibilities are endless. Using a narrative format, write the events of the case including the key players involved. Take care to include sufficient detail to give yourself content to analyze. Your case study should be about 4 to 5 pages in length (typed and double-spaced). Remember, great writing is often succinct. I am reminded of the person who apologized saying, “I am sorry I would have written you a shorter letter but I didn’t have time.” This case should focus on the planning and implementation (or attempted implementation) of an organizational change.
Please submit your case study to the instructor as an attachment in Word.
As you write the case study, take the perspective of a “fly on the wall” and provide the details in an unbiased voice. The case should be the story of the change only. Take care not to provide analysis or discussion at this point in the process (this will come later in the case analysis, Assignment 2). Include the organizational context and background to the change process in your narrative. Attempt to present your case in an original way. Remember to alter the names of the individuals and organizations referred to in the case to protect the identity of those involved. (See the marking guide called, “Feedback on Case Study Document” for more direction).
