Introduction A theory of change is a method used in community or organizational planning that identifies preconditions for a desired change to occur. The theory of change process works by first articulating an ultimate goal; the desired change. The next step is to work backwards from the ultimate goal by identifying outcomes that lie along the road to change. Outcomes occurring in both the short-term and long-term are defined, as are the prerequisites to arrive at them. Next, a proposed intervention for initiating action that will theoretically lead to the short-term and long-term outcomes, and eventually the ultimate goal, is clearly outlined. The resources required to support the success of the proposed intervention are then identified. …show more content…
According to their newsletter, GTC (2007) recaptured their mission statement that was developed at the 1998 tribal member planning meeting. The first line of the mission statement is to “re-settle the traditional village of Georgetown as a tribal communal place” (GTC, 2007, p.2). This theory of change will strategize a series of events that will assist GTC in planning to achieve this goal.
Long-term outcomes Long-term outcomes are essentially checkpoints situated along the road to the change which immediately precede the ultimate goal. When the long-terms outcomes are achieved, the condition for the desired change to occur becomes present. A long-term outcome GTC should plan to arrive at along the road to change is for several tribal members to be residing in Georgetown for at least six months per year. Establishing residency in Georgetown leads to an increase in population which leads the goal of a being a successful, inhabited community. A second long-term outcome that will enhance the conditions for achievement of the ultimate goal is for GTC to own and operate a small business in Georgetown. Tribal members residing in Georgetown will benefit by having an opportunity to earn a small income to help with living expenses. The community of Georgetown and surrounding villages will benefit from the creation of jobs and stimulated economy. Georgetown Tribal Council will benefit by earning unrestricted funds to continue developing and improving the quality of

Havelock’s model of change will be used for this project. Perception of need, diagnosis of the problem, identification of the problem, devising a plan of action, gaining acceptance of the plan, stabilization, and self-renewal are all steps included in Havelock’s model of change (Kearney-Nunnery, 2012). Leadership is also an important part of the change process. In order to have a positive outcome, the leader must incorporate the staff in the change process.
After some development into private cottage lots, which created much discourse and opposing factions on the lake, Mr. Wally King contacted me with the suggestion of donating the property to the GBLT in order to preserve the property in its natural state for future generations. Upon considering his suggestion we agreed to donate this significant property to the Georgian Bay Land Trust knowing that it would be protected forever”.
we see an organization that is looking to bring about change (and in particular growth). The
Leading and managing change require a solid theoretical foundation. This assignment will research the theoretical elements of change and change management. Addressed will be the following: Organic Evolution of Change, Formulating Strategic Development Approaches, Leadership and Management Skills and Gathering and Analyze Data. As societies continue to evolve and changing demand creates the need for new products and services, businesses often are forced to make changes to stay competitive. The businesses that continue to survive and even thrive are usually the ones that most readily adapt to change. A variety of factors can cause a business to reevaluate its methods of operation. According to literature from the past two
Stopping medication for terminally ill patients is immoral and unethical. Life is so valuable and precious even if it is full of hardships and illness. No one wants to end his life just because he is ill. Illness is so cruel and obnoxious, but there is always hope. Man is a hopeful creature; he is always hoping for the best. The road he travels by may be dry and thorny, yet he still has illusion of water and of green oasis. Hope is a sign of life and vitality. Who are you to decide for someone else to end his/her life instead of giving him/her hope?
The traditional change model consists of three steps: unfreezing, that is, recognizing the need for change because of some event or threat, the actual change actions and refreezing, that is, incorporating new ways of operating, and thinking into the everyday operations of the organization. Apply this model to the situation at the Coca-Cola Company at the point when the lawsuit was served in 1999.
Change happens in all aspects of life. Leaders view change as being good most of the time. An organization can’t move forward without change.

Leader must learn the language to effectively communicate change. This will give managers an advantage and help demonstrate the vision for the future.
Burke (2014) stated that organizations change from day to day. The changes that take place in organizations can be intentional or unintentional. Generally, the changes that occur is accidental. It is important to have a broader and deeper knowledge of understanding organization change. Understanding what is currently happening as well as trends in which the organization is functioning can provide such awareness.
The aim of this report is to provide a critical analysis of the concept of change in the business industry. The concept of change can be tracked back to Lewin’s Model of Change therefore the intitial introduction of this report focuses on the relevance of the Model of Change and its importance to giving precedence to other relevant change management theories and how Kurt Lewin’s work on heavioral science and planned change during World War II gave rrise to prominence of experimental leadership and planned change processes which also in turn launched a new generation of research that lead to group dynamics and how change programs are implemented into an organisation (Burnes, 2004). This is important because today’s basic elements or factors
Defining Change Change can be defined as an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another, the result of alteration or modification, to lay aside, abandon, or leave for another, become different in essence; to lose one's or its original nature, to make different; cause a transformation, or to make or become different in some particular way, without permanently losing one's or its former characteristics or essence. There are many different views as to the complexity of change. Some may believe change is an illusion and nothing ever really changes. However, the majority, such as the post structuralism theorists, believe that change is inevitable. Change can be viewed

The white male shows obvious signs that he is hijacking a car and continues to do so for 30 minutes, but bystanders are not even giving him second glance. A policeman passes by without even intervening with what the white male is doing. The black male does the same, but there are whispering among the spectators and looks of disapprovals are given. 2 minutes later, a policeman approaches the black male, swears and says, “Get your hands behind your back”. It’s in human nature to have this evil assumption that someone different from them is an immoral being. In this case, white skin to black skin. To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee takes place during the 1930’s in the small town of Maycomb. A quiet, humble, and respectable black man, Tom Robinson, is accused of raping a white girl, Mayella. No man steps up to defend this man, for blacks were deeply looked down upon. But Atticus, Scout’s father, makes it his job to defend Tom against all the odds, for it is the right thing to as well as to uphold his own morals. When it comes to equality for Atticus, whether one is poor or rich, black or white, all humans are equal no matter what. Readers see Atticus’s firm standpoint on equality as he defends Tom Robinson in the courtroom and through his lessons to his children, Scout and Jem. As Tom Robinson’s trial draws to a conclusion, Atticus makes his final comeback, declaring that Mayella kissed Tom who is a black male. In doing so, she did something that was so unspeakable in society
The next theme contingent throughout the step is the benefits of community. This is similar to the inclusiveness that comes from solidarity, but through community we can prevent oppression from happening
Tropical Cyclone Steve has dumped so much rain in the northwest, which makes the Gascoyne River has broken its banks and tens of thousands of tons of rich red topsoil has been washed out to the sea.
