Our Iceberg is Melting
A recent book by Kotter is: "Our Iceberg Is Melting: Changing and Succeeding Under Any Conditions". In this light, quick read in the form of an allegory, Kotter explains his 8-step framework for effective corporate change through the tale of a colony of Antarctic penguins facing danger.
By using this form and appealing to the 'human side' of change, Kotter makes his model more accessible to the broad range of people needed to effect major organizational transformations.

	1 Our Iceberg is Melting Clarifies the 8 Steps I totally agree, the Kotter model is made simple through the book so everyone gets it. There are too many change models out there that do not work because they are too difficult for people to understand. Any change model needs to be easy to understand and the 8 steps (phases) hits that mark.

	0 Is it Really Change? @Paul Rigby: Looking at how there are many realities and complexities at the same time, organisations seem to be wanting to but not yet having to… I am wondering if there is actually change? These models may not be realistically integrated within our current norms as over the last 2,5 years, the volatile environment spiralled new thinking and new ways of doing things.
