SYSTEMS THINKING FOR GOOD, PART 3

This week, you will complete the business report you have been developing during the last 2 weeks. As a reminder, you have assumed the role of a consultant who has been asked by the upper management team to evaluate an organizational performance problem within an organization. You will present your findings in the form of a written report with an executive summary included in the form of a PowerPoint presentation. The organization for this assessment will be one of your choosing, and it should be one with which you are very familiar. This organization could be where you currently work or where you have worked in the past.

Important Note: This week’s Assignment features one of the Business Skills for Good that you will develop throughout your MBA program. The Business Skill for Good for this course is personal mastery. Peter Senge, in his book The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization (2006), offers the following definition of personal mastery at the individual level: “Personal mastery is the discipline of continually clarifying and deepening our personal vision, of focusing our energies, of developing patience, and of seeing reality objectively” (p. 7). He goes on to describe the organization that supports personal mastery as being able to “provide that environment by continuingly encouraging personal vision, commitment to the truth, and a willingness to face honestly the gaps between the two” (p. 162).

As you complete the final parts of your business report, be sure to include specific examples from the organization as well as relevant citations from the Learning Resources, the Walden Library, and/or other appropriate academic sources to support your evaluation.

(Consider all major stakeholders: employees, customers, and the community.) Provide specific examples to support your position.
