BUS-FPX4802 takes a single organizational change initiative from proposal through stakeholder-ready implementation planning — covering the discipline of preparing, supporting, and equipping people to adopt change, not just mandating it. Each assessment builds directly on the change project you propose in Assessment 1, so the scope and clarity of that initial proposal shapes how well the rest of the course goes. This guide breaks down what each assessment requires and how change management support for BUS-FPX4802 fits a course that runs on one continuous project rather than four separate topics.
Course Overview
This course treats change management as a discipline distinct from simply announcing a new policy — it's about preparing, supporting, and equipping individuals and teams to successfully adopt organizational change. You'll propose a specific change initiative, build out the project's approach and plan, conduct a stakeholder analysis to understand concerns and communication needs, and then prepare the initiative for implementation with attention to mitigating resistance. As a capstone-track course, it expects sustained, connected work across all four assessments on the same project.
Key Assessments
-
1Change Management Project Proposal
Requires identifying and proposing a specific organizational change initiative, establishing its scope, rationale, and intended outcomes — the foundation every later assessment builds on.
-
2Project Approach and Plan
Develops the change management purpose and discipline behind the proposed initiative into a structured project plan, typically grounded in a recognized change management model.
-
3Stakeholder Analysis and Findings
Requires identifying key stakeholders affected by the change, analyzing their concerns and likely reactions, and developing communication strategies to mitigate resistance and conflict.
-
4Implementation and Team Development
Closes the course by preparing the change initiative for rollout, addressing organizational learning and team development needs so the change sticks beyond the initial announcement.

Common Challenges in This Course
The most common issue in BUS-FPX4802 is proposing a change initiative in Assessment 1 that's too vague or too large in scope to manage through a realistic project plan, stakeholder analysis, and implementation strategy in just three more assessments. Students also lose points when the stakeholder analysis lists generic stakeholder categories instead of specific, scenario-relevant individuals or groups with concrete concerns. On the final assessment, a frequent gap is treating implementation as a one-time announcement rather than addressing the ongoing learning and team development the change actually requires.

BUS-FPX4802 FAQ
Yes — each assessment builds on the project proposed in Assessment 1, so it needs to stay consistent throughout the course.
It can be based on a realistic scenario, but it needs to be specific and detailed enough to support a genuine project plan and stakeholder analysis.
Most rubrics accept any recognized model (Lewin's Change Theory, Kotter's 8-Step Process, the ADKAR model) as long as it's applied consistently and cited properly.
Yes — BUS-FPX4802 sits alongside BUS-FPX4801 as a capstone-track course feeding into the program's terminal BUS-FPX4993 Business Capstone Project.
Specific — naming concrete stakeholder groups or roles and their particular concerns is far more effective than general statements about "employees" or "management."
