3. Define the case of change.
4. Describe the seven lenses of current state analysis: stakeholder analysis, process analysis, performance measurement, enterprise alignment, costs and resources, enterprise maturity, and enterprise wastes.

6. Develop a future state vision for their enterprise.

Assessment 1: Individual Report
Weighting: 30%
Due Date: 24/09/2017
Submission Details: Online through MyUni

Task:
As part of your assignment you will investigate an organisation transformation process that happened in the last two years using secondary data (news, videos, etc.). 

Based on your investigation process, you will be required to write a report.

In developing your assignment please consider the following points:

Introduce the company selected (use statistics to show some relevant information about the company). The company selected can’t be one from the class cases.

Explain at least 3 things that the organisation leaders considered when they were planning and leading an enterprise transformation project.

Analyse in detail external and internal factors influencing the company transformation. Use appropriate tools of analysis, such as SWOT, Pestle and Porter's five forces analysis.

Explain why the organisation of your choice had to go through a transformation process.

How long did the transformation process take? 

Length and Presentation: 3000 words max in report format

Criteria by which your assignment will be marked:
The standards by which the assignment will be assessed include understanding the principles and referencing these principles. Given the word limit, assessment will reward content included. There will be penalties for exceeding the word limit. Quotations and tables do not count in the word count total. The objective of these questions is for you to consider the theoretical material supplied and attempt to apply it to a real project example. Therefore, evidence of having read and understood the material is important. Marks will be given for the comprehensiveness of the content, evidence of additional reading, referencing these readings in the answer, and application. In answering these questions try to state principles as well as detail. Just reproducing material by cutting and pasting is not enough!

All text based assignments must be submitted via MyUni.
Please refer to step by step instructions:

There are a few points to note about the submission of assignments:

• Assignment Submission:  Assignments should not be emailed to the instructor; they must be lodged via the MyUni Course site (unless specified to do both). Note that assignments may be processed via TURNITIN, which is an online plagiarism prevention tool.
• Cover Sheet:  Please submit, separate to your assignment, the completed 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide Assessment Cover Sheet providing details of yourself and your team members (if applicable), your assignment, the course, date submitted, etc. as well as the declaration signed by you that this is your (your team’s) work.  Note that the declaration on any electronically submitted assignment will be deemed to have the same authority as a signed declaration.
• Backup Copy of Assignments:  You are advised to keep a copy of your assignments in case the submitted copy goes missing.  Please ensure that all assignment pages are numbered. If your assignment contains confidential information, you should discuss any concerns with the Course Lecturer prior to submission.
• Extensions of Time:  Any request for an extension of time for the submission of an assignment should be made well before the due date of the assignment to the Course Lecturer.  Normally, extensions will only be granted for a maximum of two weeks from the original assignment submission date.  Extensions will only be granted in cases of genuine extenuating circumstances and proof, such as a doctor’s certificate, may be required.
• Failure to submit: Failure to submit an assignment on time or by the agreed extension deadline may result in penalties and may incur a fail grade.  Note that a late penalty of 5% of the total available marks for that assessment item will be incurred each day an assignment is handed in late (Unless otherwise stated in 'Assessment Related Requirements' or 'Assessment Detail' above).  Assignments handed in after 14 days from the due submission date will fail even if a 100% mark is granted for the work.

Resubmission & Remarking
Resubmission of an assignment for remarking after reworking it to obtain a better mark will not normally be accepted.  Approval for resubmission will only be granted on medical or compassionate grounds.
