The Balanced Scorecard

Develop a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation for your cookie company. Your project should be presented in a professional manner and use smart art where appropriate. The presentation should include the company’s mission statement and a balanced scorecard.

Review the mission statement and strategies you developed and submitted for the Module 01 Project Assignment.

Fit the strategy points into the 4 perspectives of the balanced scorecard (you may need to create more strategies or fine tune your Module 02 strategies).

Develop performance measures for each strategy point.

State which department(s) would be responsible for each performance measure.

Comment on how the departments must work together as a team to execute the balanced scorecard and how diversity among team members would enhance the outcomes.

Impact of Culture on Change

Tasks:

Conduct a review of the literature on the impact of organizational culture on change initiatives and, on the basis of the literature review, create a 3- to 5-page Microsoft Word document.

In your document:

• Analyze the impact of organizational culture on change initiatives. Identify ways in which an effective change agent can build a change-friendly organizational culture.
• Create a prioritized list of five characteristics or skills necessary for an effective change leader (5: Least Important–1: Most Important) on the basis of your readings. Explain why each characteristic or skill is important and justify your ranking.
• Explain how change leaders can integrate ethical principles into the change process and facilitate healthy change within an organization.

Your final product will be in a Microsoft Word document of approximately 3–5 pages in length. Utilize at least two sources from professional literature in your research. Professional literature may include the University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu or .gov). Your response should demonstrate ethical scholarship in appropriate and accurate representation and attribution of sources (i.e., APA) and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
