project planning change management business consulting business strategy communicationIs your business or organization going through a major change? We’re looking for Organizational Change Industry projects. Our students are currently studying Organizational Development, with a specific focus on Change Management. The cohort consist of 3rd year bachelors students and 2nd year (senior) diploma students.
Industry partners selected will be a “Live Case Study” for the course, which means many students will be working in teams on developing tools and resources to support the changes in each company/organization. In other words, lots of ideas and resources for your company!
Please note: Your initial acceptance in this project does not guarantee that the professor will select your organization. We will be contacting each organization to ensure that the scope of the project fits the requirements of this class. All selected community partners must be able to do in-person presentations if Alberta Health Services/MacEwan University deems it safe to do so.
Your company will get the reports from the teams which will include recommendations on how to implement the change and handle “resisters” within the organization, etc.
*Check with Tami/instructors* Students will present the findings of the report and their recommendations in a high-level executive presentation.

Project Examples
Project specifics will vary, depending on the nature of the industry you are operating in and the specific needs of your firm. Examples include but are not limited to:
- Business changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic (moving your business online, change management strategy in new landscape, etc.)
- A business/organization that is going through a significant change: merger, acquisition or amalgamation or perhaps the addition or elimination of a division/program that requires a re-jig of the majority of the remaining parts of the organization and is looking for a plan to implement the change.
- A business/organization who needs help focused on the Human Resources aspects of a change (review of reporting lines, job descriptions, creating new roles etc),
- An organization looking to change their culture or change their strategy or implement a new technology.
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
Provide a dedicated contact who is available to answer periodic emails or phone calls over the duration of the project to address students' questions.
Ensure timely transfer of information and firm commitment to scheduled meetings to support project success.
Must be able to attend in-person presentations at the MacEwan campus, if the AHS regulations permit. This is optional.
Be available for a quick phone call with the instructor and/or Experiential Learning Facilitator to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course.
Must provide a specific organizational change management opportunity or need in writing.
