Project Overview
What your are going to do: Rogers Canadian company (real not fictional) that is about
to go through a change or initiative (The change is Rogers-Shaw merger). As Project
Managers your are going to create a plan to ensure that this change will be successful.

● Response to post pandemic event or situation
● A supply chain issue
● Organizational approach to diversity, equality & inclusion
● Company reorganization
● Information Technology (IT) system changes such as introduction of a new employee
platform or as social media tool… etc.
● Response to external factors (such as competition or pricing), political and/or legal
changes affecting the business
● Merger or acquisition
● Any thing else that you find that is feasible to work on
The company and the initiative must be based on facts as much as possible. You may not
get every bit of detail about the organization that you need so everything else within the
project can be made up. Feel free to use your creativity.
The criteria your team will follow to do this: As stated above, your team will create and
present a guide for this company’s successful initiative. This initiative will impact multiple
functional areas, which need to be dealt with. Using the lens of project managers, who are
highly skilled in organizational behaviour, your team will be creating a proactive guide
according to the criteria below:
Provide a very high-level discussion on the following areas:
1. An overview of the company and project selected Rogers & Shaw. Please include
the name of the corporation, its main area(s) of business, its size, countries that they

The focus of your Capstone Project is for you to demonstrate what you learned about
Organizational Behaviour. Throughout the document you will demonstrate a minimum of 3
of the following concepts taught in the Organizational Behaviour Course by highlighting
them in the content of the organization studied from all the chapters covered:
● Self Awareness
● HR Fundamentals
● Negotiation
● Influence
● Toxic Teams
● Leadership
To demonstrate your critical thinking skills, consider proactive approaches to mitigating
challenges that you and your team could anticipate for this organization, at each step until
completion. For example: budget constraints, time zones, language, organizational
structure, government restrictions, geography, project not being aligned by senio
stakeholders. This area is where your expertise in OB will come to light again.
