Kotter's Eight Steps

Week 30 of approximately 130 is in the books in my doctorate program.

This week in BMAL704 it was back to the discussion boards! I wrote about Kotter’s eight steps toward organizational change and in particular to creating a strategy and vision as it applies to my dog training company. It was an interesting exercise to compare what we have been doing right and wrong and use our business as a model for my research. I bet most grad students don’t have that opportunity!

Score: 100/100

Week 29 of approximately 130 is in the books in my doctorate program.

This week in BMAL704 was fun. It was good to get back to writing again. On Saturday I spent four hours in the chair writing up a change scenario passed on Kotter’s eight-step model. I used the serum run trip as the organization and it was quite cathartic.

I also got my topic for the big project of the course approved. I will be researching succession models in a family firm.

Week 28 of approximately 130 is in the books in my doctorate program.

This week in BMAL704 we are discussing and researching Grenny’s (2013) vital behaviors for organizational change. I wrote my discussion board and used the strategies as it relates to dog mushing, of course.
