Assignment: Organizational Transformation
Think of an organization you have worked for or one with which you are very familiar. Diagnose the need for change and present a plan to transform the organization, utilizing Kotter's 8-Step Approach.
You will need to research the Kotter 8 Step Change Model extensively. You are encouraged to first review this article "Kotter’s Eight Step Leading Change Model" by ROBERT TANNER.
You may select any organization or department where you work or where you have previously worked; however, you are strongly encouraged to diagnose one problem area in the company. Attempting to diagnose an entire company is not feasible, and you will become bogged down.
If you choose a company similar to Walmart to analyze, select just one area that you think needs improvement. For example, Walmart is now very strong in online shopping, yet there are still glitches in the system. Delivery times are often late, the packaging method has problems, and some products come from unknown vendors that Walmart does not guarantee. We may know this from personal experience, but that is not enough. Statements, opinions, and experiences must be supported with valid sources. There are many articles online that you can review easily and quickly.
Your sources for this paper must include research for the company you choose and a valid source for the Kotter model.
Include the following sections headings and additional sections as needed:
Introduction
Company Overview
Diagnosis
Kotter's 8-Step Approach
Conclusion.
