Tiivistelmä
Today’s companies need to be flexible and adapt to the changing environment to stay alive. This requires a new kind of mindset and skillset from the employees and business leaders, as people react differently to changing circumstances. The aim of the study was to find out how two different stakeholder groups within 3M Nordic Region have experienced an organizational change and to build a future recommendation for 3M to follow during future change projects.
The litterature research has been based on three well-known change models; John P Kotter’s eight step model, Kurt Lewin’s three step model and Jeff Hiatt’s ADKAR model. On top of these, the author has made own observations during the change process and conducted interviews with stakeholders that have been closely linked to the change project. The end product of this research is a new model for organizational change management, which is meant as the future recommendation for 3M Nordic Region and which also works as an extension to already existing change management models.
