The assignment requires you to identify a current change in an organization with which you are familiar, and evaluate a current public issue about which “something must be done.” About the change issue, think about what sense-making changes might need to be enacted and how you would do this. Then, design a mindmap visually assessing this in terms of the 8 elements of the sense-making framework suggested by Helms Mills and as set out in Table 9.7 which is in Chapter 9 of the Managing Organizational Change: A Multiple Perspectives Approach textbook
Make sure you address the following questions visually in the mind map:
- Which ones did you believe you might have the most/least control over, and why?
- What implications does this have for adopting a sense-making approach to organizational change?
