Learner goals and capabilities

Is your business or organization going through a major change? We’re looking for Organizational Change Industry projects. Our students are currently studying Organizational Development, with a specific focus on Change Management. The cohort consist of 3rd year bachelors students and 2nd year (senior) diploma students.

Industry partners selected will be a “Live Case Study” for the course, which means many students will be working in teams on developing tools and resources to support the changes in each company/organization. In other words, lots of ideas and resources for your company!

Please note: Your initial acceptance in this project does not guarantee that the professor will select your organization. We will be contacting each organization to ensure that the scope of the project fits the requirements of this class.

Project Examples

Requirements

Project specifics will vary, depending on the nature of the industry you are operating in and the specific needs of your firm. Examples include but are not limited to:

  • Business changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic and since (moving your business online, change management strategy in new landscape, etc.)
  • A business/organization that is going through a significant change: merger, acquisition or amalgamation or perhaps the addition or elimination of a division/program that requires a re-jig of the majority of the remaining parts of the organization and is looking for a plan to implement the change.
  • A business/organization who needs help focused on the Human Resources aspects of a change (review of reporting lines, job descriptions, creating new roles etc),
  • An organization looking to change their culture or change their strategy or implement a new technology.
