CASE STUDY FOR PPT Slide 1: Title Slide Case Study: Measuring the Impact of Collaboration at Acme Industries The Final Chapter of Acme Industries’ transformation journey focuses on the Evaluation Phase of the OD Cycle CASE STUDY REPRESENTATION Slide 2: Learning Objectives: - Design an evaluation plan to assess the effectiveness of the implemented intervention for collaboration at Acme Industries. Analyze the challenges of measuring success in a dynamic work environment. Discuss strategies for a future-oriented evaluation using a mixed-methods approach. Slide 3: Scenario Overview: Following the implementation of the intervention strategy you designed in the previous module, it's now time to evaluate its effectiveness in improving collaboration across departments at Acme Industries Slide 4 and so on: INSTRUCTIONS 1. Evaluation Plan Design: SOLUTION/ INTERVENTION Assess the impact of the intervention on collaboration within Acme Industries. By utilizing the learnings in Module 6, we’ll use the evaluation phase to design an evaluation plan. The target aspects of collaborations (communication efficacy, knowledge sharing practices, and cross-departmental teamwork). To gather the necessary data, we will employ a multi-faceted approach such as surveys, performance metrics, and focus groups. 2. Challenges and Future Focus Analyze survey results and performance metrics to identify trends and changes. And interpret focus group discussions to understand qualitative aspects of collaboration. Summarize the findings from all data sources, make a report, and share it with stakeholders and incorporate their feedback for continuous improvement. Challenges in a dynamic work environment Employee Turnover has a big impact on team stability and collaboration. External Influences such as market changes, economic factors, and their effect on collaboration. To address these challenges, the evaluation plan in Acme Industries must be updated on a frequent basis to take changes into consideration, monitor trends over time, and employ long-term data. Future-oriented evaluation that focuses Adaptability to ensure that the evaluation plan allows for adjustments based on emerging trends. Feedback loop that uses data to refine and improve ongoing OD efforts. 3. Mixed-Methods Approach: To create a more comprehensive evaluation of the intervention in Acme Industries we can use mixedmethod approach which is combining Quantitative and Qualitative Data. Quantitative Data – surveys provide measurable insights into collaboration metrics. Qualitative Data – focus groups offer deeper understanding of employee experiences and challenges Using a mixed-methods approach provides a wellrounded understanding of the intervention's impact by combining quantitative data with qualitative insights. This blend of hard data and personal feedback offers a more comprehensive analysis. As a result, it captures both measurable outcomes and the nuanced experiences of participants. 4. Recommendation and Conclusion: Recommendations for the Evaluation Phase of the OD Cycle in Acme Industries Data Collection – use surveys, performance metrics, and focus groups. Address Challenge – consider employee turnover and external factors in the plan. Mixed-Methods Approach – combine quantitative and qualitative data for a robust evaluation. Focusing on this final phase of the OD Cycle in Acme Industries, a well-rounded evaluation plan provides a structured opportunity to measure the effectiveness of interventions, ensuring that the intended outcomes are achieved. It also allows us to identify any unforeseen challenges that may impact the results. Through these evaluations, Acme Industries can make data-driven decisions, refine strategies, and implement necessary adjustments, ultimately leading to continuous improvement and success in achieving its objectives.
