Change is inevitable, yet its implementation can be challenging, often met with employee resistance and disruption to the status quo. To navigate these complexities and ensure organisational success, a proven change management model is essential. This 'Change Management Models: Advanced Application' course provides you with a comprehensive roadmap to streamline the change process, anticipate heightened emotional reactions, and transform theoretical visions into thriving realities.

In this course, you will delve into five popular and effective change management models, each offering unique insights and strategies to help your organisation adapt and thrive:

• The McKinsey 7-S Model: Learn how to plan for and manage change by evaluating the alignment of seven crucial organisational elements: strategy, structure, systems, shared values, style, staff, and skills. This model helps build cohesiveness and is ideal for ensuring organisational alignment before, during, and after a change.
• Lewin’s 3-Step Change Management Model: Discover this classic framework for managing large-scale company changes, divided into three straightforward stages: unfreeze, change, and refreeze. It focuses on getting people on board early by emphasising employee motivation, preparing employees for transitions, and embedding changes into routine processes to ensure they stick.
• Kotter’s 8-Step Change Model: Master this highly successful model developed by Dr. John Kotter, focusing on creating ownership and buy-in from team members to reduce employee resistance. You'll learn the eight steps distributed across three phases: defining the change, implementing the change, and securing the change, providing a clear roadmap for organisational transformation.
• Kübler-Ross Change Management Framework: Understand how to recognise and respond to the universal emotional reactions to change by exploring the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. This people-focused approach helps managers provide empathetic support, lessening painful impacts and removing barriers to success.
• The Satir Change Management Model: Gain tools to predict and track the impact of change on employees, monitoring their emotions and performance through five stages: late status quo, resistance, chaos, integration, and new status quo. While it doesn't offer actionable tips for implementation, it excels at measuring effects, making it an excellent companion to other models for comprehensive change management.

By mastering these proven models, you will be equipped to break down complicated change processes into straightforward steps, improve stakeholder buy-in, save time, teach best practices, align your entire organisation, and ensure changes become a permanent part of your company culture. This course will empower leaders to confidently guide their teams through any transition, boosting your initiative’s chances of success.
