Topic: Strategies for Implementing Change

Benchmark – Change Initiative: Develop a Change Model

Details:

Research the various change models used by organizations today. After assessing these models, create a change model conducive to your field, and that will work within your organization’s culture. This model should serve to implement a strategic process that can help your organization integrate a change and respond to the internal or external driving forces that affect organizational success.

Create a visual representation of your model using a graphic organizer of your choice (flow chart, concept map, etc.). The design of your model will be unique and relevant to your organization, based on a critical analysis of its culture and behavior. However, your model must demonstrate the necessary steps for realistic implementation. Your model will be assessed on the quality of strategic implementation you design, the support you present for your model, and inclusion of the following concepts:

1. Methods to evaluate the need for change

2. Approach and criteria for choosing individuals or teams necessary for a change initiative

3. Communication strategies

4. Strategies to gather stakeholder support and overcome resistance

5. Implementation strategies

6. Sustainability strategies

Once you have created your model, prepare a 15-20 slide PowerPoint presentation to present your model and demonstrate how this model is relevant to your organization and why it will work well within your organization’s culture. In conclusion, discuss why this model will lead to sustainable change when most change initiatives fail. You will utilize this change model for your final paper.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide.

Unit 3
You are in a place of influence in your professional life where you can help people be successful. Describe the relationship and what actions you have taken or could take to serve others. Based on the textbook, how does your response compare to the views of authority according to servant leadership? How does your response compare to the secular view of authority?
Unit 4

How does your response compare to the view of power according to servant leadership? How does your response compare to the view of authority according to servant leadership?
Unit 5
Describe a time in your professional life when you felt used and manipulated. What were the circumstances? Did you feel valued by the leader? Based on the textbook, explain how the issue of purpose, in the servant-leader paradigm, could have yielded a more beneficial outcome for the leader and yourself.
Unit 6
Resentment tears people and organizations apart. A servant leader focuses on leading and not dictating. Explain how you could transform feelings of resentment into a force for leading.

When we consider the word love as a verb instead of a feeling, the biblical worldview would state that this loving relationship is related to two principles: honor and protection. Explain how these two principles guide servant leadership in the workplace.

Do you think it’s possible for community health centers to once again become more community-centered in their approach to population health with the goal of improving the health of communities?

Community health centers were started to respond to the many health needs of some of the poorest and sickest communities in the nation. Centers were developed to serve the needs of communities beyond just medical care, but to provide resources for food access, housing, sanitation, and employment. Over time community health centers became known for understanding the populations they served and for offering superior primary care services. However, due to the rising costs of medical care, many community health centers veered away from public health interventions, health education, and environmental controls. Funding has been restricted to the delivery of personal medical services.

Using the weekly readings, the South University online library resources, and the Internet, research the role of community health centers in providing primary care services.

Based on your research, respond to the following:

  • Do you think it’s possible for community health centers to once again become more community-centered in their approach to population health with the goal of improving the health of communities?
  • What are some ways that they might do this?

Give reasons and examples in support of your responses. Be sure to cite any relevant resources.

Write your initial response in approximately 300 words. Your responses should clarify your understanding of the topic. They should be your own, original, and free from plagiarism. Follow the APA format for writing style, spelling and grammar, and citation of sources.

By the due date assigned, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through the end of the Week, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. Participate in the discussion by analyzing each response for completeness and accuracy and by suggesting specific additions or clarifications for improving the discussion question response.

Evaluation Criteria:

  • Explained if it’s possible for community health centers to become more community-centered in their approach to population health with the goal of improving the health of communities.
  • Recommended ways for community health centers to achieve this.
  • Responses demonstrated in-depth research and analysis.
  • Justified your answers with appropriate research and reasoning.
  • Commented on the postings of at least two peers.
