Please rate my Kotters?

Mmmm I use key concepts too. Just the whole change agent thing.

By explain i mean introduce CSRM, define it and how it directly causes change. Should be how you start. Like I did globalisation, I started with an intro. avo did tech, he started with an intro. Look at this thread to see them: http://vcenotes.com/forum/index.php/topic,33690.0.html

7/10

You'd lose 2 for not explaining your issue and how it affected NAB before the steps, and one because its slightly off in the ways the others explained.

thanks, I'll keep that in mind to explain why Nab wants to change. Do you mean driving and restraining forces? Also, my answer is slightly off because other people probably used a different textbook to me. This answer I wrote followed the 8 steps from the Key Concepts Textbook.

Kotter's 8 steps are open for interpretation in some ways. I know I was taught that step 6 is "reward success," where it is more like "see the potential for success in the short term and reward those that are willing to undergo the change."

Either way, I'm sure they'll accept it. 7/10 is still good, though.

Oh yeah the names aren't a big issue tbh. It's just that seemed a little bit off.

@ Hellhole - LOL i want 10/10   everyone does.. so i'm trying to improve my kotters


Burberry i think you only need to outline Kotters and explain it. the question goes,

"Discuss how managers could use Kotter's theory of change management to respond to a significant change issue. In your answer, outline the theory and discuss how managers could use it to respond to a significant change issue and then illustrate you answer with an example from an LSO"

That's from the official sample questions from vcaa. Putting in driving and restraining forces actually are of no relevance to the question, and going straight to the 8 steps would probably be better IMO

I just never said driving and restraining, I said define the change issue...

whoops. probably read it from someone else and thought it was you. my bad. but wouldn't explaining the change issue be irrelevant anyway if it is just outline + how they can use kotters?

[burbs]

No its necessary.

[vwinnie8]

No its necessary.

hmm ok then. i'll do it again Btw I looked at yours and it was.... really really good. just, avoid listing or numbering it tho.

[burbs]

Thanks, you're allowed to though.

Question directly says "IN YOUR ANSWER" outline and how they can use Kotter's. But it also says responding to a significant change issue, so you kind of have to explain it. And whilst that significant change issue doesn't involve outlining the major driving and restraining forces, the restraining forces adds weight to your answer and driving forces are implied in why it is a significant change issue.

Also, there was a question in a previous exam about using change theories. A good answer was outlined in the assessment, showing that no introduction was necessary. However, it was only worth 6 marks.

For the 10 mark question, they will provide the case study more than liekly won't they?

They may, or may not. It's not specified. Better to be prepared than not.

Hey Burberry, do you think it is a little better now? I edited it with your suggestions.
