Note: You will create a PowerPoint slide presentation (not an APA paper) for this
assignment. Submit your assignment through Canvas for grading for this module. If you do not
submit a PowerPoint slide presentation you will not receive credit for this assignment.
Overview: Change Theories Project
Each student will produce a plan for implementing a change project in nursing departments
throughout the organization. You will begin by selecting one of the options provided in module
one and propose achange to solve the problem. If you do not select one of the provided
options you will not receive credit for this assignment. Then you will select one of the
change theories you have studied that models how you want to implement the proposed change.
You will conduct a SWOT analysis and develop a comprehensive action plan.
You will create a PowerPoint presentation of your plan with a “script” in the Notes section below
each slide, as if you are presenting this to an audience. Your script must be in the Notes section
that is below each slide within your PowerPoint presentation. See the Resource tab for
examples. These will be your speaker notes as if you are presenting your PowerPoint to an
audience. You MUST have a notes section for your slides. There will be a 50 point deduction
if your notes are not below each slide.
During and after your work, you will examine the types of communications, decision-making
processes, and processes you use, and comment upon those in the last part of the “script.”
Objectives
1. Select and utilize a change theory model to implement the proposed change (chapter 5)
2. Analyze the leadership roles and management skills necessary to implement a new
program.
3. Identify your decision-making process.
4. Demonstrate the elements of the change process.

• The change process you have chosen with an explanation of how and why this model
was selected.
• A definition of the leadership style you expect to be most effective.

You are expected to use current professional references to support your work throughout. At
least two of your references must be from separate professional nursing management journals.
Project Presentation
Your presentation should be constructed as follows:

storage device with the filename: N4455_ YOURNAME. In the actual file, YOURNAME should be
replaced by your name.
The presentation should include slides with the script in the Notes section of each slide. This
script reflects what would be said at an oral presentation of the change proposal to key
stakeholders. The slides should be created as followsSlide 1:
Title Slide – Title and Your Name
Slide 2:
Introduction with chosen
Change Theory
Slide 3:
SWOT Analysis
Identify the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats associated with
implementing or failing to implement the proposed plan.

• Communication plan
• Leadership styles
• Management functions
• Budget requirements/implications
• Steps to assure staff compliance
• Evaluation
Slide 15:
Decision-making process
Analyze the decision-making process used. What was effective or ineffective and
what would you change in the future? (Note-Your slides should be indicative of
what would be used in the presentation to the stakeholders, and the script in the
Notes section should describe to the stakeholders how you arrived at decisions.
Then, also in the Notes, describe in parentheses the effective and ineffective
methods or situations involved in your work. You would probably not go into such
details in your presentation to stakeholders!)
