Diagnostic Paper
Applying models and concepts from the course, analyze a significant change initiative you have observed, have been affected by or have had a hand in implementing in your organization.

However, you must know enough about the change to be able to do a comprehensive analysis.
Examples of change you might consider include:
• Restructuring or reorganization
• Downsizing or rapid expansion
• Outsourcing
• Technical or work process redesign
• Merger or acquisition
• Benchmarking or reengineering
• Implementing new technologies
• Shifting strategy
