This page contains the links to introduce the 8-Step process from Dr. Kotter.
| Steps | Description |
| 1. Create a Sense of Urgency | Your top leaders must describe an opportunity that will appeal to individuals heads and hearts and use this statement to raise a large, urgent army of volunteers. |
| 2. Build a Guiding Coalition | A volunteer army needs a coalition of effective people — coming from its own ranks — to guide it, coordinate it and communicate its activities. |
| 3. Form a Strategic Vision and Initiatives | Dr. Kotter defines strategic initiatives as targeted and coordinated "activities that, if designed and executed fast enough and well enough, will make your vision a reality." |
| 4. Enlist a Volunteer Army | Large-scale change can only occur when very significant numbers of employees amass under a common opportunity and drive in the same direction. |
| 5. Enable Action by Removing Barriers | By removing barriers such as inefficient processes or hierarchies, leaders provide the freedom necessary for employees to work across boundaries and create real impact. |
| 6. Generate Short-Term Wins | Wins are the molecules of results. They must be collected, categorized, and communicated — early and often — to track progress and energize your volunteers to drive change. |
| 7. Sustain Acceleration | Change leaders must adapt quickly in order to maintain their speed. Whether it's a new way of finding talent or removing misaligned processes, they must determine what can be done — every day — to stay the course towards the vision. |
| 8. Institute Change | To ensure new behaviors are repeated over the long-term, it's important that you define and communicate the connections between these behaviors and the organization's success. |
