The Ten-Stage process of leading and managing organisational change.

This ten-stage process is developed from the work of John Kotter, recognised as one of the leading gurus in Change Management. It provides a useful model for those responsible for leading and managing organisational change. The ten stages are:

1. Taking Stock: Internal and external audits.
2. Business Strategy: Playing to your strengths.
3. Create a sense of urgency.
4. Get the right people on board.
5. Clarify the Vision.
6. Communicate!.
7. Inspire and empower people.
8. Move quickly.
9. Manage the corporate culture.
10. Review and realign.

The management of change can be successfully implemented by leaders of businesses and organisations using the model above and interpreting it appropriately using judgements about your own industry or sector, combined with experience from elsewhere.
