This portfolio work project will help you integrate the concept of whole person leadership into the innovation and change process.
The organization you work for has enjoyed success with a product or service, but customer expectations are changing, and leadership knows that they must rethink how customer expectations are met.
You are a member of a committee tasked with looking at possible innovations for the organization and for determining how to communicate and manage the changes necessary within the company.
For this assessment, you will need to base your work on an organization you worked for in the past, the one you work for now, or one you aspire to work for in the future. The organization you choose should be one where you know that a change is necessary and imminent. For example, you might choose a cable company and know that the spread of Internet television is forcing them to rethink how they serve their customers. Find an industry and topic that are both pertinent for you and can be readily researched online and in the Capella library. In addition, use the following resource as you complete your assessment:
Write a business report based on the organization and change (or innovation) you have selected. Within the business report, include the following:
Note: For this final assessment, you may want to consider submitting a draft to Smarthinking or Turnitin for feedback. Smarthinking can provide feedback on your writing.
