Policy Proposal Presentation

Record a slide presentation with audio voiceover, supported by 8-12-slides, for one of the stakeholder groups
identified in your Assessment 2 Policy Proposal, which addresses current performance shortfalls, the reasons
why new policy and practice guidelines are needed to eliminate those shortfalls, and how the group’s work will
benefit from the changes.
Introduction
It is important that health care leaders be able to clearly articulate policy positions and recommendations and
garner buy-in and support from stakeholder groups for policy and practice changes in their organizations.
Unfortunately, effective communication is often lacking. Consequently, it is important for health care leaders,
when leading change, to ensure that clear and open communication is ongoing and informative.
An important aspect of change leadership is the ability to address diverse groups of stakeholders and create
buy-in and support for your ideas and proposals for change. This assessment provides you with an opportunity
to demonstrate and hone these skills.
Record a slide presentation, with audio voiceover, for one of the stakeholder groups you identified in your
Assessment 2 Policy Proposal. Inform the group of current performance shortfalls, introduce the proposed
policy, explain why the policy is needed, and present policy-driven practice guidelines to resolve the
performance issue. You must also obtain buy-in from the group by explaining the positive effects of the policy
and practice guidelines on their work.
Note: Remember that you can submit all, or a portion of, your draft presentation to Smarthinking for feedback,
before you submit the final version for this assessment. If you plan on using this free service, be mindful of the
turnaround time of 24–48 hours for receiving feedback.
