- ABSTRACT: In no more than 150 words state what this paper is about, why it is important, how the research was done, and a key finding.
- INTRODUCTION: (500 words): State why identifying and leading change is important today. Explain that you are comparing and contrasting eight key elements of six major change management models to determine their utility in managing organizational change. Summarize what each model is with NO MORE than one-paragraph (5 lines) defining each in bullet form. The six models are:
- Kotter’s 8-steps
- Bridges’ Transition model
- McKinsey 7S model
- Lewin’s 3-step model
- Nadler-Teshman Congruence model, and
- Prosci ADKAR model.
- RESEARCH FINDINGS:
- Use your own best judgement to rate in the table provided how well each of the 6 key change models incorporate the 8 most important factors of change. You will come to your conclusion based on your research into the 6 models. There is no wrong/right answer. This is an exercise in your ability to understand terms, apply critical thinking and to defend that thinking
- You present your research by first offering a very short and clear explanation of each change model and then a very brief explanation of why each of the 8 change factors is important in the field of change management. This now allows you to present the table (example below) with your ratings of the different models.
