Diagnosing Change

Assignment: Diagnosing Change

This week has two parts.

Part One: Using the Perils and Pitfalls of Leading Change Handout (attached), analyze the change that was implemented by Daniel Oliveira. Synthesize the change based on Kotter’s eight steps for leading change. Determine if Oliveira followed the Kotter model. Select one of the steps to assess and determine if Oliveira accomplished this step. Why was this an important step? Comment on how following the model may have made his change successful. Write a 1–2-page response.
