a technical challenge for your OD project unless you identify the underlying human challenges.

• Describe the organization and the challenge, clarify the organizational issue (chapter 2), identify the magnitude of the organizational issue (chapter 2), list
the stakeholders, and identify the type of change model proposed (chapter 2).
• Be sure to describe to describe the diagnostic plan. How will you diagnose the organization and the design components (chapter 4)? Describe how the external consultant (you) will be involved in the project. For example, how do you plan to collect data?
