Individual Assignment – Organization of your choice
I need help with a Management question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.
For this assignment, you will act as a consultant to a public or nonprofit organization of your choosing. This organization may be one with which you are already familiar, or it may be one about which you would like to learn more.
It will be helpful, but not necessary, for you to have access to one or more individuals involved in the organization so that you can interview them for information. Please make sure to ask your organizational contact if the information you receive from the organization needs to be treated with confidentiality. If so, use it only for the purposes of this class.
Your job here is to assess the current situation, identify any possible issues, and propose solutions to those issues.
Your report cannot exceed three pages (12 point font, double-spaced, not including appendices or references).
For this report you will complete the following tools:
- PESTLE or PEST Analysis
- Your choice of the 7S or STAR model
- Cultural Web
Each of these tools can be detailed in a separate one-page appendix. (One page per tool, for a total of three pages).
Your report should be written from the perspective of a consultant hired to help your client organization be more effective in accomplishing its mission. Your report should be directed to the Board of Directors and provide an overview of the current situation, a synthesis of the analyses you performed, and illuminate critical issues that inhibit the desired performance. Most of this report should be your own thoughts and opinions. It is important that you put significant thought into the analyses you perform to get robust answers.
Your report should be free of spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. It is strongly recommended that you run it through a proofreading application such as Grammarly.com.
