Change is the only thing that’s inevitable in life, and yet we still find it a challenging process. John P. Kotter aimed to ease the transition and make change easier by identifying eight common barriers to change. These formed the basis of his change model which has become known as Kotter’s 8 Steps.

This engaging online course will guide you through the history of change models and why they are necessary, before exploring Kotter’s 8 Steps in detail. Unconstrained by the classroom, you can work through the course content at a time and pace that suits you. The course is made up of interactive content that is optimised for desktops, laptops and tablets, so it’s as flexible as it is fun.

Over the course of two hours you’ll learn how to lay the foundations for change in a company or department, how to communicate before and during change, and how to know when the step is complete. This training comes with lifelong learning support and certification included.

Overview

About this course

Learning about Kotter’s 8 Steps could be your first step into the vast topic of change management. Managing change is essential if it is to be effective, as most people are naturally resistant to change regardless of how positive the outcome can be.

Effective change management allows you to communicate and reassure your workforce from day one, and gives you the tools to plan the transition period so it runs as smoothly as possible. This course exploring Kotter’s 8 Steps gives you insight into one of the most commonly used change management models.

Kotter studied change efforts for over 15 years and identified eight common errors when undertaking major change. In response he created his eight step change model and published a roadmap to change to assist companies.

His underlying assumption was that given the right process and the right leadership, any change can be effectively planned and managed.
