Overview
Learner goals and capabilities

Would you like to get creative, innovative and strategic ideas when planning for change in your organization? We invite you to partner with our College students! Student teams can provide a framework to launch, maintain and sustain the change while aligning with your company purpose and culture. For this change plan to be successful, we will require some information from you regarding the vision, values and mission of your organization. If you are looking for a foundation to plan, and to implement change within your organization, then this group of learners can create a plan to do so.

Expected outcomes and deliverables

The final project deliverables will include:

1. Executive Summary of the strategic plan.

2. Gantt chart of the activities and timeline.

3. Oral and written presentation of the recommendations - presentation can be in person, recorded or through Teams delivery.

Project Examples

Based on the organizational information you provide, learners will develop a strategic change management plan, which will include framework and structure to manage the change within your organization. Based on your needs, student teams will address the topics that are most critical to your organization today and provide innovative solutions to help you overcome these challenges. Examples of projects could include but are not limited to:

  • Company relocation and downsizing of workforce
  • Employee onboarding update
  • Transition to remote or hybrid workplace
  • Introduction or update a policy (ie. Remote or Hybrid work, Vacadation and Leaves, Performance Development, Compensation of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging)
