Wow, there are many examples that are coming to mind, but the most
recent example would be the reorg we experienced at our offices lately. My
department was recently realigned from IT to Business. We were aligned to
new leaders, had new deliverables and new performance goals.
Yes and No. Yes, because if I would have had this class prior I could have
provided my team and leadership team with better support. However, as this
change was mid-flight during this course, I was able to share the Kotter's
Change Management framework that has been adopted by our department.
Within weeks of leadership being more transparent, bringing back
employees surveys, recognizing employees and sharing short-term wins, we
have significantly seen a positive influence on our employees engagement.
Yes, as mentioned above I am a big fan of Kotter's Change Management
framework and will keep this information with me for however long it is
applicable. I found the steps to be really easy to follow and with the amount
of change I've seen in my organization over the past 10 years I am for sure
going to use this framework again.
It was such a pleasure taking this course with you all! I wish everyone the
best of luck in their MBA program!
