Enhancing Virtual Intern Collaboration and Efficiency at BlueTech Solutions
Your draft should build on your proposal - either your original or the new one if you changed course. Make sure you read carefully and don't leave any key elements out of your story that we, the readers, need in order to understand what you're doing/have done. Make sure your draft includes both a DVF/R and Force Field analysis.
1. Brief description of the Problem, Project or Challenge
2. Why it is important; your role and level of authority to initiate or implement change (did you need to obtain permission from a supervisor? How did that go?)
3. Background and Context (brief description of the organization and work group)
4. Your Change Action Plan and why (include both a DVF>R analysis as well as a force-field analysis)
The above sections should already be complete from your proposal.
This draft should add the following:
1. Description of Implementation – what have you done so far?
2. Outcomes - What has happened so far? Have you able to implement any action steps? Why or why not? If you are not far enough along to have achieved outcomes remind us of what you expect to achieve.
