OGL 355 Leading Organizational Innovation and Change:

Choosing an Organization and Team Expectations and Team Project Plan

Objectives:
1. Identify a team name.
2.Identify three organizations your team wants to study over the remainder of the course.
3. Set team communication and collaboration expectations.
4. Set team conflict management and non-participation expectations.
5. Complete team project plan table.

Complete the following and turn in as a team assignment. There is no need to create any other
document, just complete this one, save as, and post for your team. Everyone earns the same
grade unless consequences of non-participation are enacted (see Worksheet 1b, #2). Make sure to
support your ideas, cite from the textbook, other course materials, and your research per APA
guidelines and as necessary. Minimums are set to ensure support for your discussion, while most
responses will need some type of support to add strength and validity. It is important to cite
definitions, and to earn Excellent the ideas need to be supported with source too. These
responses need to be based on some fact, not just the team’s opinion.

Team Name: Project Powerhouse

1) Name the three organizations the team would like to study during this course
based on the one sector it was assigned. Be sure to place them in order of
desirability and remember the first team to post gets preference.
a. Apple
b. Boeing
c. Netflix

2) Communication Method(s). In this section list at least two different ways the
team agrees to communicate and with each other to have team success. You may
want to list everyone’s preferred email address or phone numbers.
a. Discussion Group within Canvas
b. Project Powerhouse Group Text
ShaShana Fletcher 972-785-7372
Lisa Severson 702-427-6938
Alfredo Araujo 619-600-7866
Lena Ciandro 831-917-6417
Dyan Babbit 424-361-2510
Joshua Moody 520-425-6294
3) Collaboration Method(s). In this section list at least three different ways the
team agrees to collaborate with each other. Think about how the team will be
structured
to have team success. Also consider how each team members’ time will be used to
get the work done. For instance, it is best practice to have a rough draft complete a
few days ahead of the final deadline so the team can review and edit. There may
then be a second draft before the final. Everyone should have the chance to provide
input on all sections of the assignment before posting, so last minute compilation
may not be a good idea.
a. Google Drive- Everyone contributes equally to project document.
b. We will create sub groups in which each group focuses on a particular task
such as researching, brainstorming, review of work, administrative role, etc.
c. Zoom Calls-A way to get immediate feedback and last minute revisions
before submissions.

4) Conflict Management. Not all conflict is bad as your team goes through
Tuckman’s Stages of team formation, but not having a way to navigate it is always
bad. In this section, present the steps the team will use when managing conflict. If
you have taken OGL 365-The Aikido Way you may have a jump start. If not, do
some research and determine how your team will work through conflict. The first
step is not “contact the professor” ; it can be one of your last steps for mediation
according to this expectations document. I am always here to support the team and
its success, and as leaders you need to be able to speak to conflict per the steps
provided first.
a) Identify/ define the problem that is causing conflict.
b) Evaluate the solutions. Consider the pros and cons of each solution.
c) Choose a solution through group discussion and vote on the best solution.
d) Team Lead of each module having final decision making authority.

5) Consequence(s) of Non-Participation. This is another tough one because no one

wants to think their team members are going to flake on them. Again, the answer is
not “go to the professor and let him decide.” When you are in a partnership you
need to set these parameters and other working relationship guidelines, and this is a
good way to practice.

The team will notify the professor of any activation of these guidelines when posting
the assignment with an assignment comment on a module-by-module basis. If
mediation is needed, please send a team email via Canvas Inbox including the
professor. The team needs a minimum of 2, but more may set everyone up for
 better success. If the team is struggling, then let’s meet and discuss it early on in the
process.

Here are some thoughts to get you started, then list out your minimum 2
consequences.

Idea 1: If someone does not come to a meeting or post their work, without
communicating ahead of time, they will earn X fewer points or X percent less
than the rest of the team on the module assignment.
Idea 2: Establish the type of grade each person wants to earn in the beginning,
and if someone only wants to earn a C, then work it out that is what they will
earn.
Idea 3: Team Member J is going above and beyond, they deserve a bonus of X.
Idea 4: Team Member L does not want to participate in meetings with the team,
send an email inviting them and then enforce the consequences provided in this
document.

a) Consequence 1- If a team member does not contribute to a project by the

agreed upon due date, they will incur a deduction of 30% less than the rest of the
team on the module assignment.
b) Consequence 2 - Team members that do not contribute by agreed date will be
given extra task responsibilities on following module team assignment.

6) Team Project Plan: Complete the following project planning table. This table
makes the team look at the Team Project Assignments in Modules 2-6 to first
understand the scope of the project, so the team picked the best organization to study,
and second, so the team can set up detailed expectations ahead of time of who will be
doing what. As the team goes through the projects, team members may find someone
has a strength which may change the project planning document, that is okay, if
everyone agrees to it. Be careful to pay attention to the provided table headers as they
will guide you on your planning. Be specific and do not just copy and paste the
directions, say it in your own words, while be specific with what each person will do
each module.
