Nagel © 2006 The Politics of Change Impetus for change is likely to come from outside change agents. Internal change agents are most threatened by their loss of status in the organization. Long-time power holders tend to implement only incremental change. The outcomes of power struggles in the organization will determine the speed and quality of change. 8 CSE & Enterprise Systems Center Lehigh University Roger N.

Nagel © 2006 Kotter’s Eight-Step Plan for Implementing Change 1. Establish a sense of urgency by creating a compelling reason (Vision & understanding) for why change is needed. 2. Form a coalition with enough power to lead the change. 3. Create a new vision to direct the change and strategies for achieving the vision. 4. Communicate the vision throughout the organization. E X H I B I T 18–5 E X H I B I T 18–5 Page 557 Page 557 Source: Based on J. P. Kotter, Leading Change (Boston: Harvard Business School Press, 1996). CSE & Enterprise Systems Center Lehigh University Roger N. Nagel © 2006 16 Kotter’s Eight-Step Plan for Implementing Change 5. Empower others to act on the vision by removing barriers to change and encouraging risk taking and creative problem solving. 6. Plan for, create, and reward short-term “wins” that move the organization toward the new vision. 7. Consolidate improvements, reassess changes, and make necessary adjustments in the new programs. 8. Reinforce the changes by demonstrating the relationship between new behaviors and organizational success. E X H I B I T 18–5 E X H I B I T 18–517 Page 557 Page 557 Source: Based on J. P.

Identify an organizational change you would like to make a) What are the forces causing you to need this change? b) What benefits will making this change provide? c) What are the restraining forces (politics, individual and or organizational resistance) you may have to overcome? d) What tactics will you use to overcome the resistance? e) Identify which ( could be all) of the Kotter’s Eight-Step Plan for Implementing Change you will most need in achieving your goal and say why and how you will use them. 18 CSE & Enterprise Systems Center Lehigh University Roger N.
