What Does a Change-Ready Organization Look Like?
As a leader in your organization, you have the opportunity to make a presentation to the Board of Directors to explain what it would take to create an 'agile' organization; an organization that can readily adopt changes.
Develop a 15- to 20-slide visual presentation (not counting the title or reference page in that count) that identifies specifically what the organization would look like.
Incorporate internal and external factors, as well as specific examples of the structure required.
Use speaker notes to expound on your discussion just as you would in a real presentation.
Use a minimum of two peer-reviewed sources.
