UNIT x STUDY GUIDE
Title
Unit Lesson
The term diversity has about as many definitions as there are people that use the term. For the purpose of
this course, we will use the textbook’s definition. Diversity is defined as actual or perceived differences among
people in areas including race, ethnicity, sex, age, and other identity-based characteristics that impact their
relationships and interactions (Bell, 2017). The term is often used to describe our differences rather than how
we are similar. How, then, are diversity and discrimination so often used in the same sentence? Organizations
talk about diversity training or cultural sensitivity training. Employees are mandated to attend these trainings
on their differences in order to be considered all the same. Is this irony? The next several units will take a
more in-depth look at this issue from different perspectives.
Diversity will often be considered when we look at physical and cultural or religious characteristics. As this
course is about diversity in organizations and managing diversity, perhaps we should then broaden our
perspective to include the perceived differences among people in the workplace as to positions, departments,
professional backgrounds, and exper
Final Project
Consultant to the Client Organization
Fig Technologies is a global technology solutions firm with offices around the globe. Fig Technologies’
corporate headquarters is just outside Mobile, Alabama. Fig recently acquired several smaller firms in
different regions to expand its products and service lines. Assimilating the processes, systems, and
human capital has presented a significant challenge. The leadership has chosen to bring in an outside
firm to address concerns. You are the consultant from that firm, The Solution Group.
In each of the assignments in this course, you will be given a scenario to address the concern that is
presented. You will be expected to develop an assessment, analysis, and research in order to support
your proposed solution. Oftentimes, you will be asked to present the top three solutions for the concern
and support your answer. Use of course materials (textbook and required readings) and external credible
materials is strongly encouraged. The scenario is not intended to have a set answer but to develop critical
thinking on what can often be very emotional and opinion-based topics. Consider carefully your position
and how you will support the proposed solutions.
Grading will not require simply meeting format standards and word count. It will require substantive
content, research, and critical thinking. Each assignment will be a section of a comprehensive report that
will be submitted to the Fig Technologies Executive Leadership Council (ELC) in written form in Unit VII.
The presentation will be made in Unit VIII. Consider as you work on each assignment how it will fit into
the final report that will be sent to the ELC for review. The final report will include recommendations for
continued improvement regarding managing diversity in the organization.
The project serves as an opportunity to stretch your thinking and your organizational skills whether you
are a business or human resources major. Working in an organization or being contracted to an
organization will require this type of thinking from you as to how you will handle diversity issues within an
organization. The project and the course will allow you to build a solid foundation to build upon while also
enriching your resource library on the topic for future business world opportunities.
Final Project Information
Throughout this course, you will complete assignments that lead up to a final project. The project, titled “Consultant to the Client Organization,” is based on a scenario presented below. It may be helpful to refer back to this scenario as you complete each assignment.
