Change Models
Different models have been developed to help plan for and implement change. Change has been studied from the conceptual approach, such as "what," as well as from the process approach of "how."
The conceptual models of change usually concentrate on content and strategic initiatives. On the other hand, process models focus on the sequence of events necessary to effect organizational change by focusing on the stages and steps of implementation.
Develop Contextual Issues of the Change
Once the need for change and the cause for implementation have been established, the contextual issues of the change can be developed to help evaluate the extent of change that an organization can implement with the resources available. Factors to consider during this process include:
· Readiness of the organization
· Culture of the organization
· Systems issues
· Amount of resistance that might be involved
Communicate the Vision to Employees
Once the vision for the change has been developed, the leaders should communicate the vision to employees. The vision should be clearly articulated, including how the change will impact the employees. This can be difficult when the change will have a negative impact on employees, but it is better for employees to understand the change than to be in the dark.
When change is implemented and individuals' employment is affected, it may be best for leaders to hold off and not communicate any reductions in force until it is necessary for the employees to know. Any change in employee status can be hard for everyone, including the employees who are staying. Both groups of employees need careful communication and support while going through the transitions.
Plan Strategies and Develop Criteria
Once the reason for the change has been communicated, implementation strategies should be considered. This is an opportunity for the leadership to involve the workforce as the workforce can be instrumental in developing the implementation strategies. As the implementation strategies are being formed, how the outcomes would be measured should be considered. How will an organization know when the change is finished and successful? If the organization includes outcome measures (e.g., increase in market share and decrease in costs) in its planning, it will help those implanting the change to know what constitutes success.
Implement and Monitor
Change can then be implemented, monitored, and managed to ensure that sequential steps are taken and continuous feedback is available.
While there are several steps for managing and monitoring change, most change processes will follow this type of model. On the other hand, conceptual models of change emphasize the mental constructs and sense making of the change
Change Process Models
There are several change models that can be used to implement a change effort. The process models are often used because they provide leaders and organizations with a sequential approach to cha.

The “Cycle of Change” Model
Modular Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this module, the student will be able to satisfy the following outcomes:
•Case ◦Examine how the steps in the Cycle of Change Model were employed by a familiar organization to undertake a successful major organizational change.
•SLP ◦Examine how the material included in a journal article or textbook chapter that is of interest to the student may be applied to a personal or workplace change.
Module Overview
In this final module of the course, we will visit the Cycle of Change Model. There are six (6) distinct steps in this model of change, each of which we will discuss in-depth. The Cycle of Change Model encompasses the notion of “Change Management,” as well as the familiar process of “Project Management.” At the outset of the change process, a “driver” is identified, the change as a concept is made tangible (i.e., the systems, people, and processes are made tangible) and operationalized. The change is delivered and as stated by Campbell (2014), the change is propagated. Change is successful to the degree that the value (or benefits) recognized by the organization are the same or better than the value (benefits) stated at the outset of the organizational change and transformation process.
Clearly, excellent leadership is central to any organizational change or transformation. Excellent leadership is inspirational. It motivates (inspires) the organization’s people to assume an active role in the organizational change, in order that the value and benefits (outcomes) anticipated at the outset of the change management process are realized.

The “Cycle of Change” Model
Required Reading
In Module 4, we will discuss the steps associated with organizational change:
1.Direct the change: The organization is focused toward a specific outcome or result; the nature of the change is clearly articulated and is universally agreed upon.
2.Drive the change: The vision is made known; the organization’s people are made aware of—and begin to take ownership of—the change. Driving the change is the process of ensuring that the people who are responsible are energized (momentum is the operative word at this stage of change). A single individual (the “driver”) of the change is identified.
3.Deliver the change: The change transitions from a concept to a tangible plan. It is at this stage the Project Management begins; the right people, systems and processes are identified and become involved in the change.
4.Prepare for the change: Prepare people; prepare the environment. This stage requires “Change Management” (management of change) and a “Change Manager.” The organization’s people must be rece ...

Thread #4:
Models of ethical decision-making lay the ground work for successful leadership in the face of ever-increasing complexities in higher education. There are models that share such elements as the process of defining the issues, making decisions by reviewing alternatives based on intuitive evaluation or on ethical rules and principles, and deciding whether to carry out the action and then implementing it using the best deliberative judgment. As an administrator, what steps do/would you take for framing your decision-making in today’s educational environment? Describe some of the more complex issues administrators are required to address that may elicit only negative decisions.
Thread #5:
An education administrator wears many hats while navigating institutional bureaucracy. He or she is called upon to take care of any issue that may arise that teachers either cannot, or should not, handle. Administrators have the task of establishing routines for school emergencies. Additionally, education administrators set a precedent for the overall atmosphere the school. Usually, the attitude of the leader will become the attitude of most of the staff. To accomplish all of these roles, the administrator must first and foremost have a vision about how education ought to look in his or her school. What actions would you take to convey to your staff, faculty, and the community at large that you have a vision for your institution that requires significant organizational change?
Thread #6:
At the organizational level, staff development is usually integrated with the institution’s overall human resource strategy and is normally considered to include institutional policies, programs, and procedures. However, at the individual level, staff development is concerned with the acquisition of new skills, processes, or consciousness that results in an enhanced intuitional perspective regarding the delivery of the university’s mission and strategic plan. Discuss your university’s approach to individual staff development in terms of various modes (fragmented, formalized, or focused).
Thread #7:
Accreditation is a voluntary process of self-regulation and peer review, adopted by the educational community. Institutions of higher education have voluntarily entered into associations to evaluate each other in accordance with an institution’s stated goals. Non-accredited institutions must be able to demonstrate that they possess certain “characteristics of quality” before they are allowed to become members of the association of accredited institutions. Discuss the importance of accreditation from the institutional, faculty, and student perspectives.

Week Four Lecture
Once the change has been decided and all driving factors have been determined, it is then the implementation process that takes the focus. Change management and action steps required are critical to successful outcomes. This week we look at the vision of the organization and the implementation of strategic change initiatives. Listen to the following podcast: Leading in times of transition (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
Kotter (1996) is a foundational author in the conversation of change management. His eight- step change management model is probably the most noted and quoted dialog for change implementation. Within this model we are reminded that there are specific actions that must be considered for change to be meaningful and ultimately sustainable. Developing the need for urgency and ensuring that the initiative meets the vision of the organization will help facilitate ownership by staff and ultimately embed the change in the culture. Each change initiative warrants its own model for success. What works in one situation may not necessarily work in another. However, without properly designed change models and an indicated process there quite possibly will be gaps in the implementation that could cause the initiative to fail. A collaborative effort throughout the organization promotes the concept of importance and inclusion. Cingoranelli (2003) believes that good communication is the key to a successful change process. It is alleged that the message of change must be communicated by the leader no less than seven times before most people will begin to believe that change is taking place or understand the concept of the change initiative itself. Being mindful of the individual perceptions of the change, the leader must refrain from presenting the lofty pie-in-the sky concept and make the change pertinent to those whose role it will be to make it work.
Change is multidimensional and requires a framework from both the constructive aspect and a personalized psychological dynamic (Rusly, Comer, & Sun, 2012). Change readiness is pivotal to the overall outcomes. Change readiness comes through precise and logical communication with all shareholders and stakeholders of the change effort. Understanding the context of change is important to being able to identify the gaps of continuity and sustainability. Managers who ignore the underlying factors that individuals use to process change will find themselves playing catch-up down the line.
Even with the most successful model used for the implementation, there are times that a change process may appear to be successful but over time it bec ...
WHY SOME ORGANISATIONAL CHANGES PERSIST,
WHILE OTHERS DECAY
This report has studied the theory and practice of change management and its constituent elements that are essential for change sustainability in an organization.
The work is focused on the study of people and their resistance to change as one of the integrated elements of the five categories influencing change sustainability: managerial; leadership; cultural; political; temporal.
In this study, an attempt was made to observe options to reduce this resistance, which basically means changing human behavior by creating a teamwork environment, motivation and participating in the change themselves.
Taxonomy of change models Version 3.0 (July 2017)Mark Simpson
Having worked in change environments for many years and used a wide range of change models for many different types of change we found it useful to collate and categorise models for ease of reference
In this update to our taxonomy we have added Change Rx, Galbraith Star Model, Positive Deviance and Whole System Transformation; further enhancements are welcomed.
In compiling this taxonomy we were surprised at the volume of change related models, in some ways a testament to the views that change can be challenging and the search for a formulaic approach that it could be argued is not possible given that humans are wonderfully unique and change situations can be highly varied. Our view is that understanding, appreciation, empathy, flexibility and resilience coupled with a desire to learn are foundational capabilities that can help those delivering change to be in a resourceful state in order that they support others and deliver effective change.
We hope you find this taxonomy of use.

Having worked in change environments for many years and used a wide range of change models for many different types of change we found it useful to collate and categorise models for ease of reference. We have used four types of classification:
Contextual – broader strategic or macro models that can be helpful in understand a context of change, or support for change - Nadler and Tushman, congruence model being an example
High level change model – change specific models, but at a broader, sometimes even conceptual model - Carnall, change management model as an example
Actionable Model – detailed, with defined stages and actions, for example Accelerating Implementation Methodology (AIM) Change Management Methodology
Supporting – models that underpin our approach to change, they can apply to specific elements of change or help to understand certain elements, for example - Beckhard and Harris, change formula

Foundational Model of Change
Managing change is a complex process. Change does not occur in one great swoop. Few organizations manage the process as well as they would like. In order to make change work, organizations need to follow a process to enhance the probability of success versus just “winging it.” The following model of change provides one useful way to think about creating and implementing organization-wide change.

What are the driving forces or antecedents to change—internal and external.
How do these driving forces influence the organization’s business model and force new requirements for success?
Is change really necessary? Deciding the status quo is preferable is a productive learning activity.
Caution #1: What must be guarded against is any denial that any driving forces or stimuli for change exist.

For this assignment, you are provided with four video case studies (.docxsleeperharwell
For this assignment, you are provided with four video case studies (linked in the Resources). Review the cases of Julio and Kimi, and choose either Reese or Daneer for the third case. Review these two videos: •The Case of Julio: Julio is a 36-year-old single gay male. He is of Cuban descent. He was born and raised in Florida by his parents with his two sisters. He attended community college but did not follow through with his plan to obtain a four-year degree, because his poor test taking skills created barriers. He currently works for a sales promotion company, where he is tasked with creating ads for local businesses. He enjoys the more social aspects of his job, but tracking the details is challenging and has caused him to lose jobs in the past. He has been dating his partner, Justin, for five years. Justin feels it is time for them to commit and build a future. Justin is frustrated that Julio refuses to plan the wedding and tends to blame Julio’s family. While Julio’s parents hold some traditional religious values, they would welcome Justin into the family but are respectfully waiting for Julio to make his plans known. Justin is as overwhelmed by the details at home as he is at work. •The Case of Kimi: Kimi is a 48-year-old female currently separated from her husband, Robert, of 16 years. They have no children, which was consistent with Kimi’s desire to focus on her career as a sales manager. She told Robert a pregnancy would wreck her efforts to maintain her body. His desire to have a family was a goal he decided he needed to pursue with someone else. He left Kimi six months ago for a much younger woman and filed for divorce. Kimi began having issues with food during high school when she was on the dance team and felt self-conscious wearing the form-fitting uniform. During college, she sought treatment because her roommate became alarmed by her issues around eating. She never told her parents about this and felt it was behind her. Her parents are Danish and value privacy. They always expected Kimi to be independent. Her lack of communication about her private life did not concern them. They are troubled by Robert’s behavior and consider his conspicuous infidelity as a poor reflection upon their family. Kimi has moved in with her parents while she and Robert are selling the house, which has upended the balance in their relationship. For a third case, choose one of these videos: •The Case of Reese: -Reese is a 44-year-old married African American female. Her parents live in another state, and she is their only child. Her father is a retired Marine Lieutenant Colonel who was stationed both in the United States and overseas while Reese was growing up. She entered the Air Force as soon as she graduated high school at age 17 and has achieved the rank of Chief Master Sergeant. She has been married 15 years to John, and they recently discovered she is pregnant. The unexpected pregnancy has been quite disorienting for someone who has planned.
For this assignment, you are going to tell a story, but not just.docxsleeperharwell
For this assignment, you are going to tell a story, but not just any story. It will be a First Nations story, and it will be your version of it.
Choose one of the two stories at the end of this unit, either "Why the Flint-Rock Cannot Fight Back"
You can write of yourself telling one of the stories.
In telling your story, here is what you will need to consider:
Clarity of speech
Intonation
Pacing and pauses
You will also have to work out how to make this telling of the story yours. You might want to read it aloud with point form notes for a prompt or to memorize it. Perhaps you want to rewrite it so that it sounds more like your words. Maybe you will change names and place-names to those you are familiar with. If you are making a video or performing this live, you should practice facial and hand gestures as well as stance and body language. The purpose of all of this is to bring your own meaning to the story.
HERE IS THE STORY
Why the Flint-Rock Cannot Fight Back
Sto-Way’-Na—Flint—was rich and powerful. His lodge was toward the sunrise. It was guarded by Squr-hein— Crane. He was the watcher. He watched from the top of a lone tree. When anybody approached, Crane would call out and warn Flint, and Flint would come out of his lodge and meet the visitor.
There was an open flat in front of the lodge. Flint met all his visitors there. Warriors and hunters came and bought flint for arrow-points and spear-heads. They paid Flint big prices for the privilege of chipping off the hard stone. Some who needed flint for their weapons were poor and could not buy. These poor persons Flint turned away.
Coyote heard about Flint and, as he wanted some arrow-points, he asked his squas-tenk’ to help him. Squas-tenk’ refused.
“Hurry, do what I ask, or I will throw you away and let the rain wash you— wash you cold,” said Coyote, and then the power gave him three rocks that were harder than the flint-rock. It also gave him a little dog that had only one ear. But this ear was sharp, like a knife; it was a knife- ear.
Then to his wife, Mole, Coyote said: “Go and make your underground trails in the flat where Sto-way’-na lives. When you have finished and see me talking with him, show yourself so we can see you.”
Then Coyote set out for Flint’s lodge. As he got near it, he had his power make a fog to cover the land, and thick fog spread over everything. Crane, the watcher, up in the lone tree, could not see Coyote. He did not know that Coyote was around.
Coyote climbed the tree and took Crane from his high perch and broke his neck. Crane had no time to cry out. Then Coyote went on to Flint’s lodge. He was almost there when Flint’s dog, Grizzly Bear, jumped out of the lodge and ran toward him.
Coyote was not scared, and he yelled at Flint: “Stop your grizzly bear dog! Stop him, or my dog will kill him.”
That amused Flint, who was looking through the doorway. He saw that Coyote’s one-eared dog was very small, hardly a mouthful for Grizzly Bear. Fli.

Written Lecture
Does the ringisei decision-making process by consensus, which is used by the Japanese, reach the same conclusion as the top-down methods, which are used by American management? Some might label the Japanese decision-making system as simply procrastination. Others appreciate the method and expect productive outcomes. One major challenge is to build an organizational culture to adopt the practice of ringisei. If only half of an organization uses ringisei, it is likely to cause miscommunication and result in frustration.
The ringisei is based on the theory that the employee is an important part of the overall success of an enterprise. It is common to hear a lot about
empowering the employees
. Is creativity and innovation rewarded, ignored, or punished for the lower level employee in America?
Could the Japanese system of decision making have led to the controversy of what Toyota knew about unintended acceleration problems? This may be the best example of the use of silence in the Japanese culture frustrating Americans as a nation. This is not an explicit accusation of Toyota or of Japanese culture. Rather, it is inserted here to demonstrate potential consequences of management methods, processes, systems, and decision making. Read pages 106-108 of Luthans and Doh (2012) concerning this topic. The cause of the unintended acceleration problem announced by the United States government was due to bad floor mats or driver error. Initially, electronic problems were not mentioned.

Change ModelsDifferent models have been developed to help plan f.docx
1. Change Models
Different models have been developed to help plan for and
implement change. Change has been studied from the conceptual
approach, such as "what," as well as from the process approach
of "how."
The conceptual models of change usually concentrate on content
and strategic initiatives. On the other hand, process models
focus on the sequence of events necessary to effect
organizational change by focusing on the stages and steps of
implementation.
Develop Contextual Issues of the Change
Once the need for change and the cause for implementation have
been established, the contextual issues of the change can be
developed to help evaluate the extent of change that an
organization can implement with the resources available.
Factors to consider during this process include:
· Readiness of the organization
· Culture of the organization
· Systems issues
· Amount of resistance that might be involved
Communicate the Vision to Employees
Once the vision for the change has been developed, the leaders
should communicate the vision to employees. The vision should
be clearly articulated, including how the change will impact the
employees. This can be difficult when the change will have a
negative impact on employees, but it is better for employees to
understand the change than to be in the dark.
When change is implemented and individuals' employment is
affected, it may be best for leaders to hold off and not
communicate any reductions in force until it is necessary for the
employees to know. Any change in employee status can be hard
for everyone, including the employees who are staying. Both
groups of employees need careful communication and support
2. while going through the transitions.
Plan Strategies and Develop Criteria
Once the reason for the change has been communicated,
implementation strategies should be considered. This is an
opportunity for the leadership to involve the workforce as the
workforce can be instrumental in developing the implementation
strategies. As the implementation strategies are being formed,
how the outcomes would be measured should be considered.
How will an organization know when the change is finished and
successful? If the organization includes outcome measures (e.g.,
increase in market share and decrease in costs) in its planning,
it will help those implanting the change to know what
constitutes success.
Implement and Monitor
Change can then be implemented, monitored, and managed to
ensure that sequential steps are taken and continuous feedback
is available.
While there are several steps for managing and monitoring
change, most change processes will follow this type of model.
On the other hand, conceptual models of change emphasize the
mental constructs and sense making of the change
3. Change Process Models
There are several change models that can be used to implement
a change effort. The process models are often used because they
provide leaders and organizations with a sequential approach to
change.
In general, most process models begin by analyzing the changes
needed and identifying the risk and opportunities involved with
the change. Also in consideration are the external forces,
including competitors and regulations that could have an impact
on the implementation and sustainability of the change. No
change lasts forever, but the organization should have a good
understanding of the life cycle of the change and make sure the
return on the investment will be worth the efforts.
Once all of the internal and external factors are considered, then
the model for implementation can be decided. When deciding on
a model, leaders should consider the capacity and organizational
culture of the organization. Are the organizational members
independent and able to work on their own, or are they more
reliant on direction and supervision? Can the members
improvise when needed, or do they need proscribed steps to
follow? Once a model is established, the organization can begin
to develop a coalition of individuals who can help influence the
broader membership and key stakeholders.
While numerous change models have been developed, the ones
that have most often been used are the following:
· Lewin's Three-Step Change Theory
· The Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM)
4. · Kotter's Eight-Step Model for Change
· Senge's System Thinking Approach
Each of these models is guided by assumptions and a
philosophical approach. Additionally, each model assumes
change is a process that extends over a period of time and is
manageable. Each model also involves a state of disequilibrium,
which results in the need for change; however, assumptions
about differentiated human responses to and through change
vary according to the model.
The key points of each model are as follows:
· According to Kurt Lewin, change occurs when there is a shift
in the state of equilibrium or status quo. The interaction
between change-inducing and change-inhibiting forces causes
disequilibrium and ultimately a crystallization of attitudes
following change (Change Management Consultant website,
n.d.).
· The CBAM views change as the introduction of an innovation
in an organization, the use of which depends on stages of
individual concern that run along a continuum from a stage at
which the individual is either unaware of the innovation or not
concerned about it to a stage where an individual expresses
alternatives to the innovation or refocuses (SEDL website, n.d.).
· According to Kotter and Cohen (2002), positive change
involves a pattern of see, feel, and change and occurs through
an eight-step process that approaches organizational change
pragmatically.
· According to Senge (1990), an organization is a complex
whole comprised of independent but interrelated parts. Change
results when one component affects one or more of the others.

Change Drivers
Let’s look at a list of change drivers that impacted theoretical
foundations.

· Assignment 1: Using a Change Model
In this module and in your readings, you were introduced to
several models of change and the philosophies and frameworks
on which they were based. You were also made aware of the
different types of challenges that cause resistance to change
strategies. In this module's discussion, you will analyze a
change model of your choice and evaluate its merits and
applicability. For this discussion, use the context of your
current (or previous) organization or that of an organization
with which you are familiar.
Tasks:
Identify a change model that you might employ if you were a
change leader in your organization and were about to implement
a change initiative.
Research challenges to organizational change and the change
model of your choice. Use resources from professional literature
in your research. Professional literature may include the
University online library resources; relevant textbooks; peer-
reviewed journal articles; and websites created by professional
organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov).
INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
On the basis of your research and experience, in a minimum of
400 words, respond to the following points:
· Identify a model and explain why you chose this model,
comparing its merits against its shortcomings. Include a
discussion on how you might adjust for or mitigate the
7. shortcomings.
· Through research, find a case example where your chosen
change model was used in a real-world situation. Describe and
evaluate its success or failure in bringing about change.
· Conclude with your thoughts on whether the case example
cemented your choice or caused you to start considering another
model. Explain.
