What is the goal for the organizational change

A consultant needs to keep the end-goals in mind on a project and develop an effective strategy to be successful. The best consultants set short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals on projects. Additionally, it is important that you anticipate opportunities, threats, and intervening factors that might impact the feasibility of achieving goals. A logic model is a helpful tool you can use to work out the goals and issues of a project ahead of time.

Using scholarly sources from the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet, research logic models. Assume that you are a consultant to an organization going through a change. Prepare and use a logic model to present your plan for making your client’s organizational change strategy a success. For your client, complete the following:

  • What is the goal for the organizational change?
  • What are the needed inputs and outputs?
  • What are the short-term, medium-term, and long-term outcomes?
  • What are the external factors and assumptions that could impact the project?

Write a 200- to 300-word response.
