    The assignment asks students to critically assess a significant change management initiative undertaken by one of several listed companies in response to Brexit, in 2,500 words. Students should identify the rationale, objectives, planning, implementation strategies of the initiative and evaluate them against best practices. They should also examine any similar world events that could provide lessons. The report should set the scene, detail the history of the initiative, examine and critique outcomes, identify lessons learned, and suggest ways forward. Research of company information and business news sources is required. Original thought and reasoning, not just restating published sources, will be assessed.

    You should adopt a report style: set the scene, detail the history, examine and critique the outcomes,
    detail the lessons, and then suggest a way forward. As these companies are listed on the London
    Stock Exchange, you should be able to get access to company information from the company and
    LSE websites. You should also keep abreast with the latest news by reading and/or watch business
    news on business sites such as Reuters and Bloomberg.
    Be careful, it is your thoughts, reasoning, and recommendations that will count, not those, if you have
    selected a case from a published source, of the original academic researcher and/or practitioner.
