Project Approach and Plan
The primary objective of change management is to develop and implement strategies that effect, control, and support change within organizations. It involves preparing and equipping individuals to successfully adapt to change to achieve organizational success (McCalman, Paton, & Siebert, 2016). Change management guides individuals and teams through their transformation journey, enabling organizations to evolve into learning organizations. Learning organizations encourage adaptive and generative thinking, which fosters creativity and innovation among employees (ELM Learning, 2021).
Change Management Purpose and Discipline
Change management enhances the likelihood of achieving project goals by improving efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and overall results (Smith, 2019). Successful examples include Netflix’s shift from DVD rentals to streaming services and Lego’s digital transformation. Both organizations demonstrate the importance of adopting learning organization principles for sustained success (Profits&, 2019).
Non-learning organizations, on the other hand, lack vision, effective leadership, and a collaborative culture, which hampers growth. These organizations often avoid addressing challenges, passing the responsibility to others, as noted by K. Brunsson (1998). Transforming into a learning organization requires adopting systematic problem-solving, learning from experiences, adapting to changes, and sharing knowledge (Garvin, 1993).
Project Goals and Objectives
The primary goal is to enhance Sunday School attendance while ensuring the delivery of quality education. Stakeholders aim to increase participation to seventy-four students through a structured curriculum update every ninety days (Anders, 2018). The plan emphasizes the five disciplines of system thinking, shared vision, team learning, personal mastery, and mental model improvement to achieve these objectives (ELM Learning, 2021; Capella University, n.d.).
Selected Change Management Model and Tools
The Senge Five Discipline Model is utilized to expand organizational learning capacity, foster innovative thinking, and encourage continuous improvement (Toolshero, n.d.). Additionally, the ADKAR Analysis model supports employee engagement in change by focusing on creating awareness, desire, knowledge, ability, and reinforcement for successful transitions (Athuraliya, 2021).
Project Plan: High-Level Timeline/Schedule
The implementation plan includes Zoom meetings, with the first interaction occurring on March 7, 2022. The timeline outlines key activities such as identifying areas for change, proposing strategies, analyzing stakeholder involvement, and developing tailored interventions (Miller, 2020).

Change Management
Change management is a structured approach to planning and implementing new processes, systems, or strategies within an organization (Miranda & Bottorff, 2021). This concept was introduced by Kurt Lewin, a social psychologist, in 1950. Changes within an organization can affect managers and employees in unique ways. While change can often be unpredictable, it has the potential to produce positive outcomes. Organizational change can involve adjustments to company culture, internal processes, technology, corporate hierarchy, and more. Typically, the change management process involves five steps: preparing the organization for change, creating a vision and plan for the change, implementing the plan, integrating the changes into company culture, and evaluating outcomes to measure progress (Miller, 2020).
Organization Summary
This proposal focuses on my current workplace, PCSO, a county jail that houses adult inmates with sentences up to two years. In most cases, this facility provides temporary housing for inmates awaiting sentencing, with stays ranging from 30 days to six months. Inmates with longer sentences often transition to treatment facilities or state prisons. PCSO has the capacity to accommodate up to 80 inmates, primarily male. Currently, Corrections Officers are engaged in training programs, some of which are merely continuing education modules and lack sufficient rigor. As the organization transitions to a new training program, it is vital to effectively communicate the upcoming changes to the staff.
Project Summary
The aim of this project is to develop a communication plan for the new training program to ensure smooth implementation. Achieving positive change within the organization requires employee support, strong leadership, staff engagement, and effective communication. As the new training program is in its final stages of development, detailed communication regarding the changes is not yet available. Effective leaders view change as an ongoing process requiring innovative and sustainable approaches (IE University, 2019). For the training program to succeed, participation from leadership, employees, and stakeholders is essential. Success in previous programs was due to the active involvement of all stakeholders. It is vital for employees to understand the purpose, benefits, and necessity of the new training initiatives.

| Evaluation | Progress will be monitored through weekly discussions, with a final evaluation by April 30th to ensure all training objectives are achieved. | Continuous until April 30th. |
Conclusion
Our team is enthusiastic about introducing the updated training program to employees. This initiative is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and effectiveness of jail operations. Necessary changes will enhance the safety and welfare of both staff and inmates. By implementing this program, we aim to create a positive and secure environment for all.
