Strategic Initiative for Enhanced Virtual Intern Collaboration and Efficiency
Develop an initial proposal for your own action learning change project that you will seek to initiate and implement during the remainder of the semester. Your project should meet the AL criteria: it should be a “problem, project or challenge, the resolution of which is of high importance” to you, your work group or your organization. The problem, project or challenge you select should be one that you have the power to take action on or reason to believe that your recommendations would be implemented.
Protocol for the AL project
Your proposal should include items 1-4 of the protocol. (Your completed Project paper due the last day of class should add the remaining sections):
For the proposal
1. Description of the Problem, Project or Challenge that you wish to try to influence.
2. Explanation of why you think it is an important change; what is your role and level of authority to initiate or implement a change? Will it require permission from your supervisor?
3. Background and Context (brief description of the organization and work group)
4. Your initial Change Action Plan - Describe the change and what steps you propose to take? This should include at least a preliminary DVF>R analysis as well as a force-field analysis. In my experience doing a Force Field Analysis provides a much better understanding of the elements of the DVF>R context.
