Compare the best practices presented in the multimedia scenario with your field experience.

Create presentation slides on the intervention phase of the planned change process, illustrating the case study from your field experience. You are encouraged to include your slides on the engagement and assessment phases with your revisions based on your instructorâs feedback.
There is no required number of slides; rather, use the appropriate number of slides to convey your ideas.
