Consultants for Change (Kotter & Lewin - Change Management)

Students are organised into 5 groups, with each group being given one of the business research packs to focus on (Blockbuster, Kodak, Nokia, Borders, Comet)

Using the research packs (and perhaps their own research), each group needs to complete what they think were the driving forces for change, and the restraining forces for change for their business, using the A3 Lewin grids

At this point, the groups share their research with the rest of the class as they then build up a broad picture of the types of driving and restraining forces that can occur in change management scenarios

The groups are then advised that they are now consultants for change, and will imagine they had been brought in to advise the business at the time when they were facing the pressures of change. Each group will be given a copy of Kotter and Schlesinger’s ‘model for overcoming resistance to change’ to use as a framework for their recommendations.

Each group will use the six ways as a framework for their consultant report, where they will advise their given business on how they could have successfully introduced changes to their business, making clear recommendations of how they could have overcome the forces for change, and successfully adapted their business

As there are 5 research packs, groups that are more able could be given the businesses or articles that are more complex. There is an opportunity to use mixed ability groups where students with stronger research skills can guide the others.
