Benchmark - Change Initiative: Develop a Change Model, LDR-615

This assignment presents a change initiative model tailored for the Veterans Affairs Hospital, focusing on improving employee loyalty and retention through servant leadership. It incorporates a force field analysis to identify driving and resisting forces, emphasizing the need for more medical funding and addressing resistance from current staff. The model outlines a strategic process including evaluating the need for change, choosing teams, communication strategies, gathering stakeholder support, and implementation strategies. It also includes a timeline and references to support the proposed change management plan, aiming to standardize facilities, introduce new programs for veterans, and achieve organizational targets through motivation and empowerment. The project also includes a PowerPoint presentation that demonstrates the implementation of the model.
