Activity # 1

Think of a recent change that happened in your organization. Try to focus on a large scale change, not just a small change in artifacts, such as a form change. It might be a policy change, a reorganization, a change in leadership, a change in organizational goals. Think about how it was implemented. 

Using each of Kotter's 8 steps, describe the change. Did your organization follow each step? If so, describe how. If not, describe how "skipping" that step may have impacted the change and how employees responded to it. Use at least two class resources in your post. Remember to cite correctly.

Activity # 2

In chapter 16, Schein describes 3 stages of change. How do they compare to Kotter's 8 steps of change?
