Assessment – Portfolio (3300 words)
For this assignment students will create a portfolio of 3300 words made up of the following elements:
From what you have learned in the module, and from wider reading, write on the basis for managing change, with reference to academic theory and practice, including but not limited to open systems theory.
Describe and critically evaluate practical interventions which can be used to help build a high-performance team going through change.
Discuss the roles and responsibilities of middle managers who lead and drive through change in organisations, and appraise interventions which can support middle managers in such a role, taking into account the emotional and ethical implications involved in change management.
Reflect on your learning in the module in respect to your own responses to change, including strengths, defences, and development needs, and how these might impact your future role/s as a leader and/or manager of change. How has this module influenced your own attitude and responses to change?
Your reflections should lead towards the identification of at least 2 SMART goals which will help you put your learning into practice when you go into the workplace.
