Create a Change Initiative Plan Using Kotter

Identify a change for an organization you are familiar with or Queens University (or the McColl
of Business). You should view this change as an important one for the organization’s overall
health. For example, perhaps you believe that Queens should have a new major or that your
employer should implement a new software system that would improve employees’
effectiveness.

Use Kotter’s model to create a plan to make the change stick. Consider what you would need to
do at each stage in the model to be effective.

For example, in relation to stage one, how would you create a sense of urgency for this
change? What data might support it? What trends in the industry signal the need for it? What is
the business case for it? With respect to stage two, who would you put on your powerful
guiding coalition (you don’t need real names, just indicators of their level in the
organization)? And so forth.
