Title: Managing the Transition to Zero Emissions: A Critique and Alternative Approach Using the Intervention Strategy Model
Choose a change event and describe how the Intervention Strategy Model
might be applied.
The Intervention Strategy Model (ISM) was introduced in Week 5 and is described fully in the course textbook.
(McCalman and Paton, 2016)
1. Now walk through the event using ISM as a guide, following each step of the intervention, as appropriate, analysing how the change was managed.
You may also use other models and tools introduced in the course. Critically reflect on both the approach and outcome.
2. Having framed a critique around ISM now suggest how you would have approached the event with the benefit of hindsight. Assess the performance
of the change management, recommending alternative courses of action and/or highlighting best practice.
You should adopt a report style: set the scene, detail the history, examine and critique the outcomes, detail the lessons learnt, and suggest a way forward.
It is your thoughts, reasoning, and recommendations that will count. Identify an element of your analysis that you consider key, then go deeper into this
element – depth not breadth.
Support your arguments with articles from the course and associated readings, feel free to go beyond the course materials and conduct further research.
The word count is 2,500 +/- !0%, not including references, tables, diagrams, pictorial representations, appendices et al.
Change Event Definition
The change event that you choose is up to you. It might be a topical change event of interest to you or connected with your work. The trigger could be Zero
Emissions , Covid, or BREXIT. Analyse how you, an organisation, or an industry, is tackling the change. Identify and evaluate the rationale, objectives,
planning activities, and implementation strategies.
Remember: It is important to make reference to the application of the principles of the Intervention Strategy Model. -

Activity Reflection: Interview with Participant on Cultural Identity
You are welcome to use the same participant for all 3 activities or a different person for one or two of the activities.
There are no formatting requirements for the paper except these:
You should have a cover page with your name, the name of your specific assignment (which will be the title of the document you received through email), and the date that you turn in the assignment.
You must use complete sentences and paragraphs in each part of the assignment. NO bullet points or numbered lists at all. Bulleted/Numbered lists lead to very concise answers but I want you to explain to me how the activity went and give details about the participant’s expressions and your own feelings as you complete the activity.
You may only submit papers in these formats: .pdf, .doc, .docx, and .rtf.
There is no required font or spacing, but 12 point Times New Roman, double-spaced formatting is preferred.
In your activity description, you should describe how you instructed the participant to do the activity and what materials you may have used to complete the activity. In this case, more details are better than fewer details. You do not need to give your participant’s full name or any other identifying information, but make sure to include in your description what information was given. For example, if you asked the participant how they would describe themselves and they answered with their full name, then you could say: “When I asked her how she would introduce herself to a stranger, she said that she would give her full name and said that she would also ask them what their name is.” You are welcome to assign a pseudonym to your participant to protect their identity. You are welcome to use initials, like this: “My participant, S. A., is a 12 year old girl who lives with both of her parents and an older brother.” You could also use a nickname, like this: “My participant, who I will reference as Jane to protect her identity, is a 12 year old girl. Jane lives with her mother and a younger sister.”
Please read your instructions carefully. If you do an activity and then do not report that you completed the activity or complete the activity incorrectly, then you will lose points for this assignment. You must complete the activity with a real, living person. You may not ask Generative AI to complete the activity and then turn in that report. This will be viewed as plagiarism -
