Activity 2E
The circumstances which might be necessary to brainstorm alternative proposals is that the
previously proposed set of rules, regulations and processes which the leader had believed might
provide freedom to the work of employee might not be that much beneficial. They might inhabit
ate tension and fear in accomplishing the task. This is the reason why the leader might have to
brainstorm alternative proposals (Wang 2015.).
Activity 3A
There might be a loss of support in the OD program because the employees might not agree
doing the program and the training which is required. They might not be able to understand the

that they can work as a whole. The agenda for team meeting might include the topics which are
needed to be changed. The questionnaire round which the employees will answer and estimation
of realistic time required (Lees and Fraser 2019).

It is important to modify evaluate and maintain the OD plan as because it helps in identifying the
most valuable and efficient use of resources (Bjonnes, Mohan Briere and Lincoln 2018). The
evaluation and monitoring together provides the necessary data which guides strategic planning
and implement various changes which might occur in the long run. The methods which can be
used to evaluate the OD plan are :
 Risk analysis – The risk analysis is a process of analyzing and identifying the potential
issues which are placed in the organization. This issues alos can negatively impact the
business initiative or the critical projects. Therefore it is always recommended that the
organizations should avoid or else can mitigate the risks. The organizational development
plan is such a tool which will help the organization to avoid various types of risks and
problems and attain the strategies (Aven 2015).
 Analysis of human error – In change management the leaders should be able to analyze
the person and the team employees. The team should be balancing the teams according
the weight age (Wiegmann, and Shappell 2017.) .

very easy for the employees to communicate with each and every members who are
working to attain the organizational objectives (Proceedings of the 2015 ACM).

limitation of the teams among the team members so that the tam does not lag behind

Activity 3E
It is important to undertake a cost benefit analysis as because it helps in creating value to the
business. Therefore the customers will buy the product and the company will be able to turn it
into profits earned. Introducing a formal process for assessing the cost and benefit will add rigor
to something which the business is achieving (Eisenhauer Heckman and Vytlaci 2015).
Opportunity cost represents the benefit an individual misses out when he or she chooses one
alternative over another. (Chodorow-Reich and Karaba 2016.)
