OD Plan fo r New System Implementation
Imagine you are the HR manager of a healthcare organization with 250 employees. You have been asked to determine skills required for the new IT system that will be implemented in the purchasing department. The new system will impact all non-supervisory employees. Implementation of the new system has an aggressive timeline and the needs analysis will require effective techniques to uncover skill gaps and provide training as needed. In addition to the time constraint, there have also been performance issues in the purchasing department related to relationships with pharmaceutical organizations.
Organizational leadership would like to see an Organizational Development plan, and for you to assess whether an internal or external OD consultant should be used.
Create a report that details the consulting relationship you are looking for, and how that person can best contract with the organization.
Write an approximately 1,050-word report that includes the following components:
· Summary of your thinking on the pros and cons of internal and external consultants.
· Recommendations for how to address organizational constraints related to time and performance
· Recommend the best option for choosing a consultant, including your rationale for selecting this option
· Your recommendations for how that person can best contract with your company.
