• Review the Resources and identify one change that you believe is called for in your organization/workplace.
o This may be a change necessary to effectively address one or more of the issues you addressed in the Workplace Environment Assessment you submitted in Module 4. It may also be a change in response to something not addressed in your previous efforts. It may be beneficial to discuss your ideas with your organizational leadership and/or colleagues to help identify and vet these ideas.
• Reflect on how you might implement this change and how you might communicate this change to organizational leadership.
The Assignment (5-6-minute narrated PowerPoint presentation):
Change Implementation and Management Plan

Your narrated presentation should be 5–6 minutes in length.
Your Change Implementation and Management Plan should include the following:
• An executive summary of the issues that are currently affecting your organization/workplace (This can include the work you completed in your Workplace Environment Assessment previously submitted, if relevant.)
• A description of the change being proposed
• Justifications for the change, including why addressing it will have a positive impact on your organization/workplace
• Details about the type and scope of the proposed change
• Identification of the stakeholders impacted by the change
• Identification of a change management team (by title/role)
• A plan for communicating the change you propose
• A description of risk mitigation plans you would recommend to address the risks anticipated by the change you propose
Sample Answer
Change Implementation and Management Plan (5-6 Minute Presentation Script)
This plan outlines the structure, visual content, and narration script for a 6-slide PowerPoint presentation on implementing a significant organizational change.
Slide 1: Title Slide
VISUAL SLIDE CONTENT:
Title: Change Implementation and Management Plan: Establishing a Centralized Knowledge Hub
Subtitle: Mitigating Knowledge Silos and Improving Operational Efficiency
Presented By: [Your Name/Role]
Date: October 2025
NARRATION SCRIPT (Approx. 30 seconds): "Good morning. My name is [Your Name], and today I am presenting a plan for a critical change within our organization: the establishment of a centralized digital knowledge base. This change is designed to directly tackle one of the most persistent efficiency challenges we face—the reliance on individual expertise and fragmented documentation. A successful change implementation will lead to immediate and measurable improvements in onboarding, process consistency, and overall speed of work."
Slide 2: Executive Summary of Issues
VISUAL SLIDE CONTENT:
Headline: The Problem: Knowledge Silos and Inconsistent Processes
Key Issues (Use short bullet points):
Inconsistent Documentation: Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) exist across multiple platforms (shared drives, email, personal folders).
High Onboarding Friction: New hires take too long to reach full productivity due to decentralized training materials.
Loss of Institutional Memory: Expertise resides with individuals; high risk of knowledge loss when key personnel depart.
Duplication of Effort: Teams frequently recreate information or solutions that already exist elsewhere in the organization.
NARRATION SCRIPT (Approx. 60 seconds): "Based on recent assessments, including our Module 4 Workplace Environment Review, a central theme emerged: knowledge fragmentation. Right now, our documentation is scattered across shared drives, emails, and individual folders, leading to significant inconsistencies. This environment creates three major pain points. First, our onboarding process is slow and inefficient because training materials aren't centrally located. Second, we face a substantial risk of losing institutional memory every time a long-term employee leaves, as their unique knowledge is rarely captured. And finally, teams frequently duplicate efforts by solving the same problems repeatedly. This is not just an efficiency problem; it’s a foundational risk to operational consistency and scalability."
