WHY?
Most major change initiatives—whether intended to
boost quality, improve culture, or reverse a corporate
death spiral—generate only lukewarm results. Many
fail miserably.

Becoming paralyzed by risks

ZOMATIO ANNUAL REPORT-FY'19
ZOMATO
SET AUDACIOUS GOALS AND
BEAT THEM
Always think backwards from the
problem. Last year, we clocked $68m
in revenue; and
in March’18, when we were planning
for FY19, we set an audacious goal of
$180m — most
of us thought that this was near
impossible, but the team worked
backwards from there
and comfortably beat the goal.
DMS,IITDELHI
FORM A POWERFUL
COALITION
Assemble a group with shared commitment and
enough power to lead the change effort.
A C T I O N S N E E D E D
No prior experience in teamwork at the top
P I T F A L L S
Encourage them to work as a team outside the
normal hierarchy.
Relegating team leadership to an HR, quality, or
strategic-planning executive rather than a senior
line manager

Failing to remove powerful individuals
who resist the change effort
The vision of the company is to “Belong
Anywhere”, and employees are encouraged to
help customers feel like they belong by
connecting with them on a personal level.
Employees keep tabs on customers’ thoughts
on social media and are encouraged to do
things to make customers feel special—
anything from replacing items that are taken
from hosts’ homes to sending luggage to
guests.

Reinvigorate the change process with new projects and change agents.
P I T F A L L S
Declaring victory too soon—with the first performance improvement
Allowing resistors to convince “troops” that the war has been won
After a few years of hard work, managers may be
tempted to declare victory with the first clear
performance improvement. While celebrating a win is
fine, declaring the war won can be catastrophic.
DMS,IITDELHI
INSTITUTIONALIZE
NEW APPROACHES
Articulate connections between new behaviors
and corporate success
A C T I O N S N E E D E D
Not creating new social norms and shared values
consistent with changes
P I T F A L L S
Create leadership development and succession
plans consistent with the new approach.
Promoting people into leadership positions who
don’t personify the new approach
DMS,IITDELHI
LIMITATIONS OF KOTTER'S MODEL
The model should be followed in sequence. If any of the steps is missed, the
implementation of the change is not worth and if the process has started, it is difficult
to change the direction of the project. But, in real life, the steps may be combined or
somehow reviewed for the fluent change management.
A R I G I D A P P R O A C H
The linearity of the model can lead to the wrong assumptions. There might be some
transformations in the organization that does not require nor are able to go through
certain steps. For example, if there is a change with need for a great deal of secrecy.
Steps 1 and 4 will be completely discarded.

LIMITATIONS OF KOTTER'S MODEL
Organization may undergo through several difficulties while implementing change. The
planning of changes according to the Kotter’s Model should limit the obstacles. The model is
not detailed enough to provide information in all scenarios. For example, Resistance to change
and commitment to change are major aspects of change management and complementary
components outside Kotter’s model.

CONCLUSION
The study provided by Kotter's in now working for many organizations, the CEO
must lead the change; the entire organization must be involved; and the
organizational culture must be taken into account before any major change.
According to Kotter, successful change leaders find a problem or a solution to a
problem and then engage the people and compel them to change the behavior
according to situation. They recommend a people-driven approach that helps
people to see the reason for change.Furthermore, Kotter has deeply analyzed the
functions of the managers and leaders in an organization that acts as a guide in
today’s business to achieve the business success.
In today’s changing world, every organization needs to enhance strategies to
meet the globally changing demands.
