17 Jan Deli10 – Organizational Culture Change Training

You are the Manager of Learning & Development in the Human Resources Department of a publicly traded company, Juniper Inc. Your organization has just hired a new CEO who wants to change the strategic direction of the company drastically. Such a drastic change means that the organization’s culture will need to change to support the new strategic direction.

As the HR Department prepares to support the new change initiative, you have been directed by the VP of HR to create a training manual for the mid-level managers . The success of this change effort depends heavily on the commitment, support, and understanding of organizational change on the part of our mid-level management team. This training manual is designed to equip mid-level managers with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate and contribute to organizational culture change effectively.

Instructions Focus on this please

The training manual should feature bulleted points for the main topics, comprehensive discussion associated with each bulleted topic, and estimated time allocations it will take to cover each topic. Additionally, the training manual must include an activity/exercise designed to have mid-level managers collaborate on generating behavioral descriptors for each new cultural value and articulate how these descriptors can be translated into actionable behaviors.

Prepare a training manual that:

· Explores principles of change that would relate to hiring a new CEO, and the change of strategic direction at Juniper Inc.

· Discusses the importance of organizational culture in driving performance and behavior.

· Examines organizational cultural variables, differentiating between those that hinder and those that support change, specifically in the context described in the instructions.

· Discusses how organizational culture develops through the stages of change at Juniper Inc.

· Describes, with examples, how both radical and incremental changes can concurrently influence organizational change to align with Juniper Inc.’s business strategy.

· Explains the importance of aligning tangible and intangible employee rewards with change efforts that connect to the specific scenario explained in the instructions.

· Includes a training exercise developed for the midlevel managers to participate in to help identify new cultural values with behavioral descriptors and how those would translate into actionable behaviors.

· Applies professional language supported with evidence (in-text citations and references in APA style) and free of errors. Provides attribution for credible sources used in the training manual.
