Memorising Kotter's 8 Step Change Process?

[luken93]

Anyone got any creative ideas on how to remember his 8 Steps?

If anyone else wishes to contribute, or think up some sort of mnemonic, I will list each step, with the main word/s I want to remember underlined

Create a sense of Urgency

Pull together the guiding Team

Develop the change Vision and Strategy

Communicate for understanding and buy-in

Empower Others to act

Produce Short Term Wins

Don't let up

Create a New Culture

[shinny]

Don't bother. Unless this has changed in the new study design, you only need to learn either of Kotter or Lewin's. However, Lewin's is far easier to remember and explain so just stick with that because it's easier to secure marks with. Well, unless you need Kotter for your SAC that is...

Nope its Kotter's only now, Lewin is gone from the Study Design

what i usually do is just remember the first letter of each saying/point etc and try to make a word out of it. Works for me usually

"VCE"
3.Vision
4.Communicate

"STUDN" <- student? Lolz or studying :/

The best mnemonic is one you make yourself.
I use the most random mnemonics for everything - especially Japanese.

The more emotions or senses you can evoke in your mnemonic, the easier it will be to remember.


Maybe: VCE'D NUTS

Imagine Kotter is a psychotic young man who failed VCE. Instead of being "own'd" or "pwn'd", he was "vce'd". He's in a special institution especially for young people who failed VCE, and went crazy because of it. It is a place said to be especially for people like Kotter and other VCE'D NUTS.


If acronyms don't work for you, then use something else.

Maybe create a surreal story - it doesn't even have to make sense:

Mario, the CEO of Nintendo, bursts into the board meeting smelling strongly of "New Culture", the latest scent in Donkey Kong's new range. You cringe as the scent stifles the room. Mario, who's morbidly obese these days, seems to think this scent is quite empowering - you think it's overpowering and he's overcompensating. He slaps a manila folder onto the table. The front cover is embellished with shocking pink calligraphy that reads: "Vision".

"WELL??", he bellows. "We've had a heap of short term wins, but this company ain't going nowhere people!"

You sigh. Mario's always had such poor communication skills. You wonder why Peach chose him over Bowser... maybe it was because Mario just wouldn't let up and accept it was over between them.

Pikachu's busy cowering behind Link. You wonder vaguely how the little yellow rat even ended up in this meeting. Toad shoots you a terrified glance. You need to rally the team, and urgently, before Mario's "New Culture" monkey perfume suffocates you.

wow nice.

I'm not creative enough to think of a random story like that.

Heh... I'm random, not creative.

I completely missed out on the creative gene -.-"

Lol Kotter's 8 Step Change Process D:
Just had my last business sac on friday
At first i couldn't remember the steps and how to explain them
But my way of remembering it easier is remembering the 1st letter of each one
So UTVC and then ESDM, that worked for me.
