Summary:
Professional Assignment 2 – CLO 4Identify a current change in an organization with which you are familiar. Alternatively, identify a current public issue about which “something must be done.” In relation to the change issue, think about what sense-making changes might need to be enacted and how you would go about doing this. Assess this in terms of the eight elements of the sense-making framework suggested by Helms Mills and as set out in Table 9.7:
- • Identity construction
• Social sense-making
• Extracted cues
• Ongoing sense-making - • Retrospection
• Plausibility
- • Enactment
- • Projection
What ones did you feel you might have the most/least control over? Why? What implications does this have for adopting a sense-making approach to organizational change?
Prepare a 2 – 3 page document with your answers and thoughts in APA format.
*Please refer to the Grading Criteria for Professional Assignments on page 9 of the syllabus for specific guidelines and expectations.
