Handling organizational successful change efforts

Change is a process that is constant in many organizations. Unfortunately, successful change efforts are
not always properly handled or addressed. OD practitioners, both internal and external to an
organization, need to possess a solid understanding of the models and techniques that can be utilized to
encourage a successful change effort.
Consider the scenario below:
A large healthcare organization, which is located in South Dakota, has been greatly impacted by COVID19. Unfortunately, many employees are now concerned about coming to work in fear of contracting the
virus. While healthcare professionals (e.g., medical professionals, janitorial staff members, etc.) know
that they are required to be physically present to complete their job, various leaders and office staff
members (e.g., accountants, HR professionals, billing assistants, etc.) do not feel comfortable coming
into the office on a regular basis.
The executive level leadership team has recognized these concerns and has contracted with you, an
external OD practitioner, to assist with this change effort. You have decided to utilize Kurt Lewin’s
change model to implement this change.
For this assignment, please do the following:

  1. Explain your role as an external consultant and what competencies you must possess to
    successfully carry out this change initiative.
  2. Explain why you have selected Kurt Lewin’s model to implement this change effort.
  3. Identify the various stages of this change model and explain, as related to the scenario, what
    would be completed during each stage of Lewin’s change model.
  4. Justify how you will ensure that this change effort is successfully implemented.
