Change management

Change management is one interesting subject that I got in my master management study. I learn cases from well-known companies why and how they finally changed. In the same time, they are 8 exchange students from BEM Bordeaux Management School, French join summer class in my university. It is very interesting to know what European thought about some cases, how they mingle with people from different country and background. Moreover, the change management subject becomes international class afterwards, the lecturers deliver and communicate in English and all assignments and quizes must be written in English.

However, in change management class, we learn about 8 stages of Kotter change model. Every failure in change is due to an incompetent or inefficient management. That’s why change management has to be taken as a real and long process. Many stages have to be completed and respected so that the change last in the time. The 8 Kotter’s stages wall reflect the hardness of the process; create a sense of urgency, recruit powerful change leaders, build a vision and effectively communicate it, remove obstacles, create quick wins, and build on your momentum. If you do these things, you can help make the change part of yourself or organizational culture and finally declare a true victory..
