author John Kotter Our World Is Changing and Your Business Must Change Now

Based on Harvard Professor John Kotter's bestseller "Our Iceberg Is Melting"

Program Overview

Since 1996 the best selling book Leading Change by John Kotter has helped thousands of individuals and organizations understand and implement change by defining a clear road map. Kotter has parlayed his research into a training program Leading Bold Change based on the fable “Our Iceberg Is Melting” and his 8 steps to “Successful Change.” The fable is about an emperor penguin colony in Antarctica. A curious bird discovers a potentially devastating problem threating their home (iceberg) and no one will listen to him. Their tale is one of resistance to change and heroic action, full of obstacles and the cleverest tactics for dealing with those obstacles. It is a story that is occurring in different forms all around us today.
