Using Collins work as a model and framework for advanced organizational analysis

Using Collins work as a model and framework for advanced organizational analysis (and other references as needed), analyze a system, organization, organization systems and/or subsystems.

The paper should be carefully written in a formal style, based on primary sources, provide an integration of ideas, and be 4-6 pages in length, excluding title page & reference list. Organized flow, logical progression of ideas, and clarity in thought are essential. Please use headings to separate content.

After reviewing the keynote and studying the readings, you should now be ready to proceed with your assignment. In this assignment, you will conduct an organizational analysis based on what you have learned from the readings in this unit. Using Collins’ work as a model and framework for advanced organizational analysis (and other references as needed), analyze a system, organization, and/or subsystems. Consider each of the concepts proposed by Collins’ breaking down the organizations’ strategic plan, financial management and systems, organizational structure, leadership, organizational culture, performance outcomes, etc. Collins’ research is good and provides a framework based on science rather than opinion or anecdotal observations. Consider the writings of Senge (1990) found in the Fifth Discipline and other related writers and models when performing an organizational analysis.

As part of this analysis, consider interviewing members of the staff, board members, organizational historians, key administrative personnel (CFO, CEO, CNE, etc.). Review what is written about the organization and its system in the local paper, regional documents, trade journals, etc. These qualitative methods, along with review of clinical, financial and other evaluation measures (quantitative measures), will provide a more holistic perspective of an organizational systems’ performance.
If you choose to perform the analysis of the practice setting in which you intend to do a capstone project, this assignment could provide you with much foundational work for your practice change. “Immerse” yourself into your organizational system, getting to know the inner workings, how decisions are made, informal and formal networks, how change and innovation are perceived, and other organizational system dynamics.
