leadership and organizational strategy

Both leadership and organizational strategy in the next decade
will see major trends affecting the way organizations conduct business. These
include the deployment of more technology to extend reach and access, increased
globalization, increased diversity, more focus on extended supply chains, and a
more nomadic workforce. In this assignment, you will consider these trends and
analyze how they may impact your selected organization and what actions are
necessary to get ready to address these trends.

You have been appointed by your organization (either a
hypothetical or one you are familiar with) to prepare its Workforce 2020
executive report.

The report should be as detailed as possible for the CEO of your
organization. That means it should include the key points of your research,
analysis, and findings. The report should also contain examples of specific
application to your company in a clear, concise, and informative document.

In Module 5, you began your research on Workforce
2020. In this module, continue this research using the module readings, Argosy
University online library resources, and the Internet, including federal
guidelines. Select 3–4 scholarly resources for use in this assignment.

Do the following:
Analyze your organization in its present form. Explain your organization’s
structure, workforce diversity, market/customer diversity, and communications
technology.
Forecast future trends. Identify the economic, social, demographic, and
workforce parameters that are expected to be in the U.S. in the year 2020.
Explain how those trends will or will not be reflected in your organization.

What are the general workforce trends?
How will these trends impact our industry?
What are the general trends in leadership/management that are impacting your
organization?
Synthesize data and recommend changes needed for the future. Identify and
recommend leader, organizational, and workforce trends that must be considered
for change in the larger macro environment (e.g., advances in technology or
globalization) in your organization. Identify related outcomes for each specific
topic:

What leadership actions should the organization take?
What competencies will be needed?
What does the organization need to do to be prepared?
To conduct a holistic assessment of your selected organization and the
challenges and opportunities it faces in addressing the noted trends, you may
want to consider some of these concepts as you develop your recommendations for
the organization. It is not necessary to include them all, but you should
include 2–3 of them to do a thorough analysis. For example, leadership models
and diversity management are likely to be pivotal areas for the organization.
You could talk about the environment trends that were noted in the beginning of
this assignment and then discuss how leadership practices and approaches in your
selected organization may have to change to meet or address those trends.

Analyze how the following concepts apply to your organization:

Diversity management
Leadership models
Ethics
Decision-making models
Problem solving
Conflict management processes

Here is a checklist of the contents of your paper:
An integrated report with an introduction and summary
A set of recommendations that will enable the organization to meet the
expected challenges of 2020
Trends in your own organization
Three to four credible, cited sources supporting your projections

Support your assertions using the selected scholarly
resources.

Write a 12–15 p g s in Word format. Apply APA standards to
citation of sources.
