Organizational Change
The goal of your Final Paper is to describe how you would implement a major program
of organizational change as if you were a senior leader of the company, using one of the
following approaches:
• An organization-wide initiative to improve Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
• Where work allows, moving from traditional “in-office” environment to remote
work or a hybrid model (partly in office, partly remote).
• Adopting CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) as a Key organization-wide
initiative.
• Increased automation in processes and the increase in the use of Artificial
Intelligent systems.
• Optimizing Digital communications (all forms of video, audio and text-based
communications) to replace or enhance traditional interactions.
• Six Sigma
• Organizational-wide, continuous Learning
• Kaizen
• Systems Thinking
Additionally, the Final Paper’s purpose is to draw upon as much of the course material
as possible, but specifically from Units 5 -7.
In this assignment, you will create a draft of your final paper.

• Specific, real world examples are preferred where possible (discovered by
research). For example, how did a company like Continental Airlines restructure
themselves? How do these examples reflect concepts we are studying? If you
must make assumptions to supplement the material you find, if insufficient real
world examples exist, then please identify when you have done so.
