The Change Management Process: Accomplishing Change and Making it Stick

There are times when an organization must go through serious transformation.  By this we mean the type of game-changing metamorphosis that requires corporate leaders to devise a new vision which must then be adopted by staff members and ultimately put into action. Transformational change is only possible with a legitimate sense of urgency and effective change management that is orchestrated with a change management strategy.  This article, based on the Method Frameworks Plan4^SM process and adapted from John Kotter’s 8-step change model and book on change management best practices, “Leading Change” (Harvard Business School Press, 1996), examines methods for managing corporate change and accomplishing successful outcomes.
