Leading Organizational Change (LOC)

From now onward (until further notice), I will write on my Master's assignment on Leading Organizational Change. I attended the LOC course on 23 - 25 February 2009 at UEM Leadership Centre. 
Started with the fundamental of the associated word of change that is resistance. The 3 elements of change management are Content, Process and People. The resistance is obviously existence in People.
I learned great deal of the approaches and tools to deal with the resistance especially brainstorming and communication. The techniques were very well explained that I realized that my previous approaches on both tools were wrong. 
The Force Field Analysis was very interesting for me to realize the necessary areas need to gauge before identifying one out of 5 type of changes require. It really makes me wake up the Sigmoid Curve theory was explained.
The Change Equation is the given formula to gauge the readiness of change should take place. Paradigm shift is a powerful word in the change management.The Kotter’s 8 steps is the proof powerful tools to ensure the change management plan will not fail.
