PLANNING FOR CHANGE – A LEADER’S VISION ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS
This assessment is based on the work you have completed in the previous three assessments.
Preparation
The report you completed in the previous assessment has convinced the executive leadership team of the benefits to the organization of taking the next step toward changes aimed at improving outcomes and cultivating a culture of quality and safety. You have been asked to follow up your report with a presentation to administrative leaders and stakeholders that outlines your plan to develop or enhance the organization’s culture of quality and safety. A number of key stakeholders will be unable to attend your presentation for a variety of reasons, so you have decided to provide those individuals with a video recording of the presentation.
Requirements
Note: The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the Planning for Change—A Leader’s Vision Scoring Guide. Be sure that your written analysis addresses each point, at a minimum.
