Student goals and capabilities

Today with extraordinary forces impacting organizations of all size, change is not only inevitable but necessary for survival. These student groups provide a unique and proven expertise in identifying external and internal organizational pressures and demands for change. They can provide customized evidence of how key external environmental pressures you face such as technology, societal issues, and the economy are demanding changes to your internal organizational environment including your structure, systems, and workplace climate. The result is a robust Strategic Change Action Plan that points the way forward for you, identifying roadblocks and detours that you will face.

Project Examples

Based on the information you provide, students will develop a customized Change and Transformation Strategy (CATS)) that presents you with evidence-based solutions. Student teams will address the aspect(s) that are most critical to your organization today, and provide innovative solutions to help you overcome these challenges.


Project examples include but are not limited to:

  • Investigate and summarize the change and explain why the change is required in the organization.
  • Provide evidence of how demands for change are interconnected and doing one thing well can solve other issues.
  • Provide a Gantt chart with the key stages in the change process.
  • Identify what stakeholders, customers, and employees need from change, how to empower their support, and address the core reasons for resistance.
  • Assess the readiness of the organization for the change; which include its interconnected culture, structure, and systems.
  • Propose how to implement the change through the UCW-class designed CATS change model.
  • Recommend the sponsor and change agents in the organization who can influence the change.
  • Suggest a communications plan which will include identifying who should be communicating, how they should communicate and timing of the communication
