Challenges and Opportunities in Managing People and Organizations - Horizon Scanning 2021-2034

Globalization's Impact on Managing People and Organizations

For an organisation or sector with which you are familiar, undertake horizon scanning1 to identify the key challenges in relation to managing people and organisations which are being faced in 2021, and those likely to be faced in 2024 and then in 2034. Analyse how globalisation, technological change, and longevity may create particular challenges and/or opportunities for the:  Individual and teams in the workplace Strategic Management of People Managing Change and Performance Managing across cultures and organisations as well as ways in which they might interact. This might seem like a substantial piece of work, but it is intended merely to provide a context for the main part of the assignment, and for that reason you are encouraged to work collaboratively in your learning groups, over the course of the module

Part 1 : The complete horizon scanning should be included as an appendix, and a summary should be provided as the first section of your assignment.

Part 2From the horizon scanning, select one or two key areas which you have identified as both important and likely to be changing over the three time periods. Drawing upon relevant literature, identify the ways in which the organisation and/or sector might need to respond, citing theory and research to support your suggestions

Part 3: Reflect both on the induction activities and the horizon scanning and consider how the changes you have identified will affect your own career development, and how you might personally respond to them. Using a range of relevant literature, explain how self-awareness and continuous self-development will help you to fulfil your role as a successful Leader or Manager in the future. Write one critical incident to reflect upon the findings and implications from selected self-analysis toolkit from the module (e.g., Belbin, Emotional Intelligence, Management Competencies, Personality tests)
