For this Touchstone, we will make the following assumptions: * Quenchbliss needs to restructure the organization. As noted in the scenario, the company has grown fast and organically. * Based on the SWOT analysis performed in the Unit 1 Touchstone Task, Quenchbliss wants to expand into two more countries, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic, in the next 5 years. * Because they have high turnover, Quenchbliss needs to work on their motivation strategies to keep their people happy and engaged. Consider the following as you develop your organizational structure: * Quenchbliss has historically been an organic organization but needs to make mechanistic changes as it expands. Review the content on organizational structures and organizational design. * Quenchbliss does not have a clear path to promotion, which can be one motivational factor. According to the expectancy theory, showing employees that desirable behavior leads to positive outcomes, like promotions, is important as part of the organizational structure design. Consider the following questions as you develop your motivational plans: * How can a manager motivate employees extrinsically but also ensure they are intrinsically motivated? * Which motivational theory do you think is the most valid and applicable to Quenchbliss’s organization? Assignment: Develop a slide deck for a presentation for the leadership at Quenchbliss. As an OB expert, your presentation will address how the company can change the organizational structure, provide a graphic on a proposed structure, and also address motivational strategies that are tied to motivational theories.

Directions Step 1: Determine an Organizational Structure and Change Process * Review the tutorials on Organizational Structure and Design and Organizational Change. The tutorials on Managing Change and Mechanistic Change Modelswill also be helpful. All of these are in Unit 1, Challenge 3: Organizational Structure and Change. * Based on the fact that Quenchbliss is changing from organic to mechanistic, consider what formalized organizational structure might work best, and what the process would look like for Quenchbliss. Step 2: Decide on a Motivational Plan * Review Fundamentals of Motivation. You will then want to review all of the motivational theories and strategies covered in Unit 2, Challenge 4, Attributions: Interpreting the Causes of Behavior, and Unit 2, Challenge 5, Attitudes and Behavior. * As you review, consider which ones might apply best to Quenchbliss. Consider the theories and which best fits the organizational circumstances as you described in the Touchstone Task. Step 3: Prepare a Presentation for the Quenchbliss Leadership Team Prepare a slide deck (PowerPoint presentation or equivalent) for a presentation to the Board of Directors and the Leadership Team at Quenchbliss. The presentation should have 10 slides: * A title slide; this should also include your name and the date. * An introduction slide that addresses what you’ll be covering in the presentation and why it is important. This will include elements of your SWOT analysis; in particular, “weaknesses” and “opportunities” will explain the need for structural change and a plan to address motivational issues. * Three slides that describe the recommended organizational structure and why it is appropriate. One of these three slides should graphically present the proposed organizational structure. HINT If you use Microsoft PowerPoint, go to “insert” and “chart” and search for the appropriate organizational chart layout. * Three slides that present each of your motivational suggestions and rationale for selection, along with a discussion on how they relate to a motivational theory. * A closing summary slide. * A slide listing at least four sources you used; these sources can include both Sophia tutorials and the outside sources you used to do your SWOT analysis. These should be given in APA format. See the examples below for correct formatting. Step 4: Add Speaker Notes or Commentary If you were giving this presentation to a group, you would also have an oral component, providing additional explanation, examples, or highlights as you reach each slide. In this step you can either record those comments orally OR write detailed speaker notes directly in your slide deck. Option B: Add Speaker Notes You may also add your commentary to the presentation as text, using the notes pane. This pane appears beneath each slide as you develop the presentation. If you choose this option, write exactly what you would say, using complete sentences. You should have about a paragraph (5-6 sentences) per slide. Some may be longer or shorter. HINT If you do not see the pane for these beneath your slides, go to View: Notes (in PowerPoint); in Google Slides the notes pane is always visible.
