Organizational Readiness for Action Learning.

Now turn to Chapter 1 of Pedler and Abbot (2013) and pages 41-42 of Passmore (2011) where the potential benefits of action learning is discussed. Based on your answer to Question 1 above and from these two readings, what would you hope to improve upon using an action learning program? Do you think action learning would help you improve in these areas? Explain your reasoning both with respect to the readings and the areas for improvement in your leadership that you have identified so far in this class.

3. Go to the “Organizational Readiness for Action Learning” quiz on pages 43-44 of Pedler and Abbot (2013). Fill it out and report your results. Overall what does the quiz say about your organization’s readiness to engage in an action learning program? Do you agree with the results? What kind of challenges do you think you would face in setting up an action learning program at your organization?

4. Finally, take a look at pages 37-38 of Passmore (2011) and Chapter 8 of Marquardt (2004), which give step-by-step guidelines on setting up an action learning program. Based on your answers to Questions 1-3, how would you design an action learning program in your workplace?

Describe the change that occurred in your workplace, and list the major steps or stages involved in this change.

think about a major organizational change that occurred in your workplace. Think carefully about the steps taken by management during the change process, and the organizational change processes and concepts that you read about in the background materials.

1. Describe the change that occurred in your workplace, and list the major steps or stages involved in this change.
2. What stages were successful during this process, and which ones were problematic or handled poorly?
3. Do a side-by-side comparison between the steps you listed in your answer to Question 1 and the steps used in Lewin’s three steps, Kotter’s eight steps, or the five-step approach of action research. What were the key similarities and differences between these models and the ones used in your organization?
4. Based on your answers to Questions 2 and 3, do you think the change process would have gone better if management used Lewin’s three steps, Kotter’s eight steps, or the five-step approach of action research?

Explain the impact of nuclear energy/weaponry.

Write a paper about the impact of nuclear energy/weaponry. The use of nuclear energy has become more prevalent as civilization advances, making it imperative to look deeper into the effects of such dangerous energy. We can learn from past disasters such as Chernobyl or post WWII Japan to see the effects of nuclear radiation over the course of a long period of time, giving insight into how terrifying modern wars will be with the use of nuclear bombs.

Investigate the suitability of sand, clay and peat soil mixture to revegetate TiO2 sand tailings.

The aim of this research is to investigate the suitability of sand, clay and peat soil mixture to revegetate TiO2 sand tailings.

The research objectives will include;

  1. Determining the proportion of sand, clay and peat required to retain water and nutrients to support plant growth on TiO2 sand tailings.
  2. Identifying suitable tree species that can grow well on sand, clay and peat anthroposol in a temperate climate
  3. Determine whether the sand, clay and peat mixture will enhance biological fertility of TiO2 sand tailings.
  4. Determine the impact of sand, clay and peat mixture on the acidity of TiO2 sand tailings.
