This week you will complete the final part of your business consulting plan with your implementation strategy. A precondition for success in implementing organizational change is making sure stakeholder voices matter, which creates an inclusive environment for the successful execution of the plan.

This week you read Chapter 17 Challenges for Leaders in the Years Ahead which explored the concept of managing by inclusion.

1. Discuss an industry from the reading that has a history of failing to foster inclusion in the decision-making process. Provide specific examples.
2. How does practicing inclusion (recognizing that stakeholders must be factored into every decision) create a challenge for achieving consensus? How is this a positive outcome?
3. Share two examples of how you can translate these leadership practices into your implementation strategy for this week’s assignment. Be sure to support your position with evidence.

Provide a substantive response to one or more of your classmates.
