KotterOs Change Model of Management

An organization will always go through various changes in its lifetime. After all, adaptation is one of the key factors in an organizationOs survival. There are several well accepted change models of management. All of them have been scientifically proven to be effective in the management of change.

KotterOs Eight Step Change Model of Management explains that there are eight essential steps in an organizationOs change management. They are as follows:

1. Initiate Urgency: Organizations need to establish a sense of urgency within the employees to effectively

implement change. They should be able to explain

properly why this is important and urgent for the

companyOs survival.

2. Change Team: This team should involve respected

members of the company and department leaders

impacted by the change. They should be able to influence teamwork in the organization.

3. Establish Vision: An organization with a clear vision on how and where it wants to be in the future will be able to direct its employees in achieving its goals.

4. Communicate Vision: The vision must be communicated properly, and employees must be able to understand

it thoroughly, and comply with the

companyOs vision of the future.

5. Empower Others: Employees who feel that they are

empowered by the firm to achieve the vision will be

more motivated to cooperate with the transition.

This creates a sense of responsibility for the employee.

6. Easy Goals: By creating short-term goals and rewarding employees for achieving it, the company will

achieve the bigger vision in a step-by-step approach.

7. More Goals: After achieving their short-term goals, new ones should immediately follow in order for the

firm to be able to achieve the bigger goal.

8. Embrace Culture: The final step in this change model of management is to permanently institutionalize the

new approaches by embedding them in the companyOs

culture and leadership succession.
