Change Management Dear Jane, I Received Your Req

Change managementNameInstitutional affiliationDear Jane,I received your request for my recommendation on generic change modelsthat you could use to drive change in your department. I would recommend the Kotter’s Eight Steps to Change and the Bridge’s Transitional Model because they are efficient and easy to follow. Kotter’s Eight Steps to ChangeThislinear model states the eight steps to transforming an organization or introducing a new concept, from the time the idea is introduced, to making the change permanent (Appelbaum, Habashy, Malo, &Shafiq, 2012, p. 764). It focuses more on preparing and accepting the change and not the actual change. It is could alsobe useful in steeringchange in the process of project planning or general operations in organizations with hierarchical business structures (Appelbaumet al, 2012, p. 764). However, unlike many models, Kotter’s model does not allow the change drivers to skip any step. Plan to Implementing Kotter’s ModelIncreasing the urgency for change is the first stage of the change process. This involves notifying the management and the employees about the need for the proposed change. The next stage involves forming a powerful coalition of true leaders to continue to build urgency and momentum
