What is the best Change model approach to follow, to support an Integration Project? How exactly do you apply them to the project?
Kotter’s 8-Step Change Model is one to consider. It’s an effective framework given the challenges / complexities of integration as its structured approach helps navigate change while trying to keep employees informed, aligned, and engaged. It engages employees throughout the process, balances short-term wins with long-term cultural change, and provides a step-by-step framework adaptable to each integration project.
As far as applying the model:
– first adapt Kotter’s steps to fit the specific challenges of your integration. For example, in a technology-driven merger, the “urgency” for the first step might focus on aligning IT systems, while “culture” in the eight step might emphasize fostering innovation.
-then delegate each step to specific teams or leaders to ensure accountability.
-then track progress – monitor milestones and adjust plans (if needed); make use of dashboards, for example.
-and keep employees involved – you can use mechanisms like feedback loops and reward & recognition programs.
