As а newly minted Chаnge Mаnagement cоnsultant, yоu have been called in tо advise a CEO who would like to implement a new technology platform in her company. The new platform will significantly impact work processes across the business and will result in cost savings that will allow the company to make R&D investments designed to spur innovation. Most of the executives who are aware of the change are enthusiastic about its prospects and potential impact on the company. The CEO is concerned, however, about the reaction of the Director of Manufacturing, John Curtis, to the change.

Using John Kotter's Change Process as a model, compose an email to this CEO to lay out a vision of how this change could be managed. In describing your suggested approach, be sure to: Describe the overall goal of the change management effort. Incorporate stages of Kotter’s model (at least 4 stages) Address her concern about the possible resistance of John Curtis by providing several specific actions she could take to manage his reaction to the change, and, Warn her about at least one “change trap” (according to John Kotter) that could derail the change effort AND provide a suggested action to avoid that trap.
