Final Project Part VIII

Complete a comprehensive report that
details your suggestions to MSO. Look through it in totality to ensure that
each part fits well, that it looks professional, and that it contains all the
necessary information.
You are a consultant who is engaged by MSO to suggest ways to deal with the
internal fallout that resulted from the current legal crisis experience by the
company’s founder. This internal fallout includes (a) a sagging morale of
managers and employees, (b) failing leadership credibility, and (c) an
inadequate and confused internal communications structure. The ultimate goal of
this report is to provide guidelines for restoring investor, employee, and
customer confidence.
Follow these guidelines while creating your report.
Remember that you are making recommendations to the management of MSO. All
deliverables should look professional, be consistent, and provide usable
information that management can implement.(This assignment mimics what a
consultant would actually produce for a client company).
• Start the report with an analysis (not a recounting) of the history of MSO
from the beginning to the situation of the present crisis.
• Your recommendations must be sequential and cohesive.
• The crisis has created extensive negative consequences in three broad
organizational areas for MSO management: employee relations, communication, and
leadership credibility. Your final project will develop a planned change with
the goal of resolving these problems.
o Discuss one or more motivational theories that you recommend be used to
overcome the current issues with the sagging morale. How would you integrate
these theories into MSO’s MBO, employee recognition, and compensation plan?
o Discuss the changes that need to be made in the communication model at MSO.
Discuss how these changes should be implemented. How will you know if the change
is successful?
o Discuss the powers that are held prior to her conviction and implications of
her conviction upon those powers. What would you recommend to MSO in terms of a
new influence and authority model one Stewart returns to the company?
• Your report should be in the form of a PowerPoint presentation that will be
presented to MSO management. Create an executive summary of your report that
highlights the most important issues and solutions outlined in your report. It
should explain your philosophy on planned change and organizational development
and how you will go about implementing your recommendations. Recall a best
practice of PowerPoint, which recommends you keep the number of words on each
slide to a minimum and place the bulk of your discussion in the notes section
of the slide.
Submit a PowerPoint presentation that is a comprehensive report using
information from each of your weekly reports. Be sure to either begin or
conclude with an Executive Summary.
