Record a slide presentation with audio
voiceover, supported by 8-12-slides, for one of the stakeholder groups
identified in your Assessment 2 Policy Proposal, which addresses current
performance shortfalls, the reasons why new policy and practice guidelines are
needed to eliminate those shortfalls, and how the group’s work will benefit from
the changes.
Introduction
It is important that health care leaders be
able to clearly articulate policy positions and recommendations and garner
buy-in and support from stakeholder groups for policy and practice changes in
their organizations. Unfortunately, effective communication is often lacking.
Consequently, it is important for health care leaders, when leading change, to
ensure that clear and open communication is ongoing and informative.
An important aspect of change leadership is
the ability to address diverse groups of stakeholders and create buy-in and
support for your ideas and proposals for change. This assessment provides you
with an opportunity to demonstrate and hone these skills.
Record a slide presentation, with audio
voiceover, for one of the stakeholder groups you identified in your Assessment
2 Policy Proposal. Inform the group of current performance shortfalls,
introduce the proposed policy, explain why the policy is needed, and present
policy-driven practice guidelines to resolve the performance issue. You must
also obtain buy-in from the group by explaining the positive effects of the
policy and practice guidelines on their work.
Note: Remember that you can submit all, or a portion of, your draft
presentation to Smarthinking for
feedback, before you submit the final version for this assessment. If you plan
on using this free service, be mindful of the turnaround time of 24–48 hours
for receiving feedback.
