Criminal justice organizations must be able to grow and change to improve and to meet the needs of a changing society. Effective organizational management can help facilitate the change process. Managers in criminal justice have many responsibilities, including overseeing change management. The delicate balancing act of managing change in an organization requires effective communication to describe effective organizational management strategies. Once you can identify potential communication barriers and strategies to assess organizational change, you will be prepared to recommend evidence-based strategies for effective organizational change management.
Assessment Deliverable
Imagine you are a manager of an organization in the criminal justice system that is facing a major crisis and you have been tasked with developing effective strategies on how to address the needed changes.
Select a contemporary issue affecting one area of the criminal justice system. You may represent any kind of criminal justice organization that aligns with your career goals: law enforcement, courts, corrections, probation/parole, juveniles, etc. You will research the issue and report your findings to leaders from other departments and similar organizations.
Using effective organizational management strategies, write a 1,050- to 1,400-word report that drafts a plan for organizational change to share with other decision-making leaders. Describe to your fellow leaders how you plan to effectively implement the needed changes that address an issue in your organization. There is no specific format for the report as long as ideas are communicated clearly.
Your report should include the following information based on your research:
Identify the issue and why there is a need to implement organizational changes to your organization. Define a preferred change process strategy to deal with the issue.
Explain the handling of resistance to change. Identify key barriers to effective communication. Indicate the methods needed to improve communication regarding the needed changes.
Describe effective organizational management strategies that can be used to assess the changes after they are implemented. Explain how trust, conflict resolution, and negotiation influence the plan for organizational change.
