Kotter's 8-Step Change Model
Kotter's 8-Step Change Model is a framework designed to help organizations implement successful change. It consists of eight steps: creating a sense of urgency, forming a guiding coalition, developing a vision and strategy, communicating the change vision, empowering broad-based action, generating short-term wins, consolidating gains and producing more change, and anchoring new approaches in the culture. Each step builds on the previous one, ensuring a structured approach to change.
This model emphasizes the importance of leadership and communication throughout the change process. By following these steps, organizations can effectively manage resistance, engage employees, and sustain long-term improvements.
