1. CHANGE MANAGEMENT AND ITS MODELS By Mark Moncher

2. WHAT IS CHANGE MANAGEMENT? Change management is the application of strategies, models, and processes that help effectively move people, processes or an organization from one state to another. You need to understand what the impact is and how we are going to get from one state to the next? Effective handling of the change is essential to the success of any project. Mark Moncher believe that if the people don't know how to change, if they're not appropriately trained or if they don't want to change, then the project can be a failure. So to answer the question, what is change management? Essentially, change management or organizational change management is the process and approach that you take to help the people and organization through the change. There are a couple of change management models that are popular in use in project change management. Here are three popular models:

3. Mackenzie 7S Model This model is a holistic approach to an organization. Basically, it determines how an organization will operate. There are seven factors that make up the model: 1. Shared Values 2. Strategy 3. Structure 4. Systems 5. Style 6. Staff 7. Skills As a whole, they work together to form the model. In this model, you use the 7S's to define the process and the approach that you're going to use to change. What's the new structure? What's the strategy? What are the values that we're moving from and to? What systems and processes are changing? Each person and staff member - how are they affected and who are they? What are the skills involved? You use the 7S's as your guide to produce the change management model or approach to change. The thing to remember is that each of those items are so interrelated that if one changes, they all change.

4. Lewin's Change Management Model This is a three-stages-of-change model. 1. Unfreeze 2. Transition 3. Refreeze Basically, you need to work out how you're going to get them out of their current state, how you're going to help them transition, and how you're going to embed, or refreeze, that change so it sticks.

5. Kotter's 8-Step Change Model 1. Increase the urgency for change. 2. Build a team for the change. 3. Construct the vision. 4. Communicate. 5. Empower. 6. Create short term goals. 7. Be persistent. 8. Make the change permanent - this is the embedding of the change. The model is about communicating the change, having a vision for the change, empowering people to be part of the change and to change themselves, having goals, being persistent in making sure the change works, and making sure the change is permanent and embedded.
