Business Scenario: Organizational restructuring led to employee resistance and misaligned leadership behavior. The company faced cultural fragmentation and declining morale post-merger.
Tools & Frameworks Used: Organizational Diagnosis (Burke-Litwin Model), Kotter’s 8-Step Change Model, Stakeholder Analysis, Action Planning.
Summary: This MBA project centered around the implementation of a structured change management plan within a mid-sized healthcare organization following a significant merger. I diagnosed core problems related to leadership, communication, and organizational alignment. Then, I created a phased strategy to re-engage employees, improve communication, and foster cultural integration.
Highlights:
- Mapped organizational systems and feedback loops using the Burke-Litwin model
- Created a leadership alignment plan addressing miscommunication and resistance
- Outlined 6-month and 12-month action plans with success metrics
- Presented to a simulated executive board as part of final MBA deliverable
Note: This project showcases my ability to apply academic frameworks to real-world challenges and translate organizational theory into actionable steps.
