Change Phases model John Kotter

[ankitgokani]

Often, creating value requires significant change. John Kotter concluded in his book "A force for Change: How Leadership Differs from Management" (1990) that there are eight reasons why many change processes fail:

*

Allowing too much complexity
*

Failing to build a substantial coalition
*

Understanding the need for a clear vision
*

Failing to clearly communicate the vision
*

Permitting roadblocks against the vision
*

Not planning and getting short-term wins
*

Declaring victory too soon
*

Not anchoring changes in corporate culture

To prevent making these mistakes, Kotter created the following eight change phases model:

1.

Establish a sense of urgency
2.

Create a coalition
3.

Develop a clear vision
4.

Share the vision
5.

Empower people to clear obstacles
6.

Secure short-term wins
7.

Consolidate and keep moving
8.

Anchor the change

According to Kotter, it is crucial to follow the eight phases of change in the above exact sequence.
