TASK FORCE COMMITTEE REPORT:
ISSUE AND SOLUTIONS
Due Week 4, worth 150 points
Leaders address issues and propose solutions. As a leader, you’ll need to stay
on top of events that may facilitate or hinder productivity. You must create and
implement solutions to address these issues.
This assignment exposes you to complex modern organizational challenges.
The solutions you devise should reflect your learning and research of organizational and individual influences in the workplace.
PREPARATION
1. Select an organization
Select an organization in which current events have adversely affected
productivity, requiring management to resolve an issue related to:
corporate culture, managing diversity, leading teamwork, and
developing motivational strategies. The organization should be one
with which you are familiar — where you work now or have worked
previously (business, nonprofit, government, or military). You may also
consider other organizations in the news, such as Macy’s for the retail
industry, United for the airline industry, Wells Fargo for the banking
industry, etc. The focus is on finding solutions, but you should be
somewhat familiar with the organization or industry.
2. Plan your research
Use research from the course textbook, company website, business
websites (CNBC, Bloomberg, etc.), resources from the Strayer Library,
or outside resources to develop solutions to the following questions as
they relate to corporate culture, managing diversity, leading teamwork,
and developing motivational strategies to achieve the organization’s
goals and objectives. Your recommendations must be fully articulated
and supported with appropriate detail and sources. Note: Wikipedia
and web-based blogs do not qualify as credible resources.
INSTRUCTIONS
Imagine yourself as the task force committee leader at this organization. You
have been tasked with analyzing hindrances to organizational efficiency. You
must propose strategic solutions.
Create a full report in which you do the following:
1. Describe the Organization and the Issue to Resolve
Provide a brief description of the organization you selected. Present
the organizational issue that adversely affected productivity and that
you, the task force leader, will review and resolve.
2. Analyze Current Corporate Culture
How has the current corporate culture facilitated the development of
the current issue? Research the organization, dig into the culture, and
analyze how it contributed to this issue. Hint: Review the mission and
vision statements as well as the corporate website.
3. Identify Areas of Weakness
What are the organization’s areas of weakness? Using your research
on organizational behavior approaches to corporate culture, diversity,
teamwork, and motivational strategies, identify areas of weakness.
4. Propose Solutions
What organizational practices would you modify? What solutions
should your task force recommend to management? As the leader of
the task force, identify the suggestions you would present to the
organization’s leadership with regard to modifying current
organizational practices to resolve the issue.
5. Prepare an Executive Summary
Summarize your recommendations and research findings in a
one-page executive summary that you will present to the CEO in an
upcoming executive meeting. Note: An executive summary is a
condensed version of your full report. It should summarize briefly all
the main points in concise paragraphs. It should be written clearly
and should use language appropriate for the audience.
This course requires use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is
different than other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to
