Capella University Change Management Strategy Project Proposal

Prepare a project proposal that provides the background on  your selected client organization, a summary of the project, and a  project timeline.

INTRODUCTION

Familiarity with the basic ??concepts of change management and the  learning organization, and developing an awareness of your own  individual values and vision, is important to your growth as a change  agent and leader. Throughout this course, you will build on your  understanding of these basic concepts and skills as you integrate them  into your work.

Before you begin your first of the series of five assessments that  comprise the course project-a project that is the core of this  course-read the Overview of Change Management Strategy Hands-On Experience Project [PDF] document to understand the scope of the project and its requirements.

OVERVIEW

As a part of your course project, you will be expected to engage  with an outside group or a real-life team from your workplace, a place  of worship, or a civic group, of at least four people. As you choose  your client organization, be aware that you will be asked to think about  and make recommendations to this team's larger organization. If you  have not yet done so, read the Overview of Change Management Strategy Hands-On Experience Project [PDF] document to understand the scope of this project and your assessment requirements.
