The organisation is Cotton On.
1. Organisation profile: Identify your organisation, the industry in which it resides, and its core business activity.
2. A change event: looking retrospectively over the past three months, identify a change your organisation has initiated. Assess the current state of your organisation in reference to the change you have identified (i.e. was the change successful, how has it impacted the organisation, has the change added value and if so, why?. If you do not believe the change was successful then you should discuss this as well, outlining the reasons why you believe this to be the case).
3. Environmental forces (internal & external; driving and restraining): Using Lewin's forcefield analysis model, list and briefly discuss the forces for this change and those against this change, both in the external and internal environments. Score these forces and provide a total score (attach your workings on this template).
Do you believe the strongest restraining force in the internal and/or external environment was mitigated? If so why?, if not why?
4. Organisational alignment: Using McKinsey's 7S model as a guide, discuss which four elements will need to be in alignment to support the change being proposed. NB these may already be out of alignment and if they are, explain why.
Using this map, plot the position within each quadrant of the most important stakeholder groups (or people) remembering that the map is based on interest in the change proposal and degree of power/influence.
6. Discuss your rationale for your placement of the important stakeholders relative to this proposed change event (ie. Why did you place each stakeholder in a particular quadrant?).
7. Change status: Reflect on and briefly discuss the impacts on the organisation regarding culture and operational performance. Why do you think this has happened?
