Note: This is a three-part Assignment that is submitted over the course of 3 weeks. This week, you will submit Part 1. You will submit Part 2 in Week 2 and you will submit Part 3 in Week 3. Additionally, you will use the same document for each submission (renaming it each time you submit). In this week’s submission, you will complete Part 1, and you will leave the placeholder language for Parts 2 and 3 as is.
For this Assignment, you will play the role of a consultant who has been brought in to help the leadership of a company struggling to evolve in the current market. You will present a report to the CEO in which you analyze the relationship of creativity and innovation to business practices.
The company’s CEO, Gabriel Marron, has been resistant to change for the past 25 years, and the company recently began losing market share to other competitors. After months of being in denial, the CEO is finally open to considering the idea of implementing innovative approaches to reclaim the company’s former position at the top. Gabriel admits that it is simply not in his nature to value innovation. Sticking to tried and true methods has always worked favorably throughout his career, but you are being brought in because that is proving to no longer be the case. In your report, you will draw the connection between creativity, innovation, and business practices.
With those thoughts in mind, construct Part 1 of your report to the CEO with the following section, being sure to incorporate appropriate business examples (as indicated), as well as citations for relevant academic resources from the classroom, the Walden Library, and/or other appropriate scholarly sources to support your work.

This “problem” should involve you directly; it should be real, meaningful, not too big, and something that you are willing to share. Develop a specific intervention plan for this problem based on the Bowenian approach. Make this a very practical, small intervention. You may or may not choose to try it. In Bowenian terms, describe how you think it would affect the dynamics of your family if you did implement this intervention.

Create a genogram of your family of origin, using the correct format.. After you finish, scan or take a picture with your phone or other handheld device of the image and upload it as part of your submission for this assignment. Please be mindful that your drawing must be professional and clear to enable your professor to read and understand your submission. Depict at least three generations (more if you wish to), including you, your parents, and your grandparents (as well as aunts, uncles, and cousins as applicable to complete the assignment). Include information on cultural factors such as race, ethnicity, religion, and social class and demographic information such as age, geographic location of residence, jobs held, etc. You will also include information about the quality of relationships (including divorces, extra-marital affairs, etc.), any mental health or addiction issues, any applicable medical concerns, or any other information you wish to include.
