Case Study – Royal Bank of Scotland acquisition of NatWest

Assessment 2: Change management plan based on a case study

This assessment is aimed at students’ understanding of the change process, integrating knowledge from different topics in the field when formulating diagnostic reports on work situations, acknowledging the complexity of organizational processes.

Case Study – Royal Bank of Scotland acquisition of NatWest

At 7.30am on 6th March 2000, the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) announced its ‘acquisition’ of NatWest to the stock exchange.  This was an unusual acquisition of a larger institution (£186 billion assets, 64,400 staff) by a smaller one (£75 billion assets, 22,000 staff) amongst the Big Five retail banks.  The news relayed to NatWest staff as soon as possible (who had been kept informed of the bidding process, which had also received a lot of media attention), with emails awaiting them at around 8.30am the same morning. Within three days, RBS had closed down the NatWest head office and chosen only the best employees to remain. The acquisition process was dealt with ‘rationally’ by keeping staff informed on every aspect of change.  In the words of the Group CEO, Fred Goodwin, ‘we believe that it is important to remove uncertainty for staff as quickly as possible.’ The imposition of the RBS system of technology into ‘the NatWest branch’ was justified as saving the company around £1million a day.

Start by identifying what elements you recognise in the case study that require attention and discussion. Then move on to present a theoretical model of change that was applied in this situation.  How could it have been done differently?  Questions you can ask/answer are:

What methods can be used to further investigate the presented situation?

What other organisational processes come to mind that may play a role in this scenario?

How can the presenting problem and these processes be addressed?

What interventions would be put in place? How?

How would you plan to evaluate their effect on the employees?

Challenges faced by prison staff planning to implement a therapeutic service

Write a report that evaluates the specific challenges and issues that might be faced by prison staff planning to implement a therapeutic service.

Your report should be suitable for reading by a non-academic audience.

 

Your report should be based on the following scenario:

Imagine that you are a psychological consultant who has been contacted by a local prison. The governor of the prison wants to implement a therapeutic service and offer the prisoners therapy. The prison is for women prisoners, many of whom have experienced sexual and domestic abuse and have been convicted several times for various crimes. A recent inspection of the prison reported that there were high levels of self-harm and attempted suicides by the prisoners and it was suggested that a number of the prisoners would benefit from receiving therapy.

The governor is requesting a report on the issues that need to be taken into consideration in setting up the therapeutic service.

The report needs to not only provide the benefits of offering therapy but also any drawbacks and potential challenges that may be associated with offering therapy in a forensic setting.

The report should present an argument in relation to which of the four therapeutic approaches in the module (attachment therapy, CBT, systemic therapy and mindfulness), should be offered to the woman prisoners, with an appropriate rationale. It should explain why particular therapies might be beneficial and outline any potential drawbacks associated with them.

The report should discuss why female prisoners may not respond to therapy, how to help those who have suicidal thoughts and self-harm, and how to deal with victims of sexual and domestic abuse.

The report should also discuss how to prevent reoffending, as many have been convicted several times.

The report should include general suggestions and recommendations for the governor rather than specific guidance on how the therapeutic service should be set up in this prison.

The report should discuss the benefits as well as drawbacks and potential challenges of offering therapy in a forensic context, and suggest what types of therapy might be appropriate to offer to female prisoners. It should also consider why female prisoners may not respond to therapy and how to help those who self-harm or hold suicidal ideation or intent, and how to deal with victims of sexual and domestic abuse.

You are asked to provide the governor with general suggestions and recommendations for a therapeutic service for this/these client cohort/problems in a prison environment. You are not asked to come up with specific guidance on how the therapeutic service should be set up in this prison

Psychology of Wellbeing Assignment 3A: Presentation

In this assignment you will complete a presentation that outlines the application of positive psychology to a real life social issue which has significant effect on broader society. The broad aim is to demonstrate how positive psychology might be used to help address some of the problems related to a chosen social issue/s. In doing so, you will be expected to apply key positive psychology principles and draw upon relevant research and theory to evaluate how effective and applicable positive psychology may be as an intervention.

The presentation you produce for this assignment will be further developed in Assignment 3B: Major report.

There are a number of social issues that may be suitable to choose from, and you are welcome to pick your own. Examples may include (but are not limited too):

-Drug and alcohol abuse (e.g. ICE use).

-Rising obesity levels.

-Discrimination and stigmatisation.

-Internet addiction.

-Other addictions.

You are required to complete a presentation outlining your major report. The presentation you produce should be divided into four different sections that should provide an overview of the major report sections you will cover in more detail for Assignment 3B:

-Introduce the aims of the report and clearly establish the parameters (what will be discussed).

-Provide an overview of the chosen social issue.

-Provide an overview of the chosen positive psychology principle(s).

-Provide a description of a proposed positive psychology based intervention and/or program designed to help reduce the negative impact of the chosen social issue.

You should review the material in Assignment 3B: Major report to get a clear idea of the overview you are providing in this presentation. Remember, you should not go into the same level of detail for this assignment.

Your presentation will be assessed based on the following criteria:

-How well you have provided an overview of your chosen health issue, including rationale for choice.

-Your ability to discuss and evaluate relevant positive psychological principal(s) and/or concepts(s) and their rationale for choice.

-How well you have introduced and summarised your proposed intervention, including how it would be applied.

-How well you have identified relevant issues and limitations associated with proposed intervention.

Psychology of Emotions

This is a theoretical essay. The propose of this essay is that you learn to identify the main principals of a theory and use them to imagine and speculate how different theories would approach the same phenomena, in this case, an specific emotion. The three theories that you will combine in your essay will be covered on the lectures and are: The Social Construction of Emotions (Harré, 1986), Theories of Affect (Massumi, 2002; Clough, 2007; Lara 2020), and the Theories of Feelings (Cromby & Willis, 2016). You will use these theories to analyse your chosen emotion from these three different perspectives.
