Discussion: Information Management and Technology

Implementing Change

The discussion assignment provides a forum for discussing relevant topics on the basis of the course competencies covered.

For this assignment, make sure you post your initial response to the Discussion Area by the due date assigned.

To support your work, use your course and text readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your classmates' initial postings. Participate in the discussion by asking a question, providing a statement of clarification, providing a point of view with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Cite sources in your responses to other classmates. Complete your participation for this assignment by the end of the week.

Tasks

Post a response to one of the two discussion topics below, using information from the lectures, reading assignments, library resources, and Internet resources. All responses should be posted to the Discussion Area.

Topic 1:

Change in our work and personal lives is often a stress inducing event. The goal of the change agent should be to mitigate stress as much as possible. Share your experience with change, good or bad, and if it was "good" experience, what made it good? And if "bad" what made it bad? How to these experiences align with best practices in implementing change?
