Application of Kotter’s Change Management Model in Organizational Transformation

Establishing urgency, as well as building a guiding team, are crucial components in this model. It is then necessary to develop both vision and strategy whilst communicating this transformative vision. Once equipped, others can act upon this initiated change, after which quick advancements need to be achieved.
