Kotter International Launches Contest to Help Organizations Accelerate Change
Winners Will Receive Education, Support in Leading Change
(firmenpresse) - SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/18/11 -- , a change company that helps leaders build the capacity to drive large-scale transformation in their organizations, announced today that it will launch an offering called to help organizations transform themselves and make bold, positive changes at a time when many face difficult decisions about their futures.
Seize Your Big Opportunity is a contest that will give leaders the chance to win a free day-long workshop, called a Big Opportunity Session, with experienced change practitioners from Kotter International. The session will help the executive team at each winning organization focus on their highest-priority business goals, build alignment around critical opportunities, and start developing the competencies to lead large-scale change.
"At Kotter International, we believe strong leadership is a powerful force for good," says Kotter International CEO Nancy Dearman. "Especially now, during a time of uncertainty and upheaval for many, the world needs more great leaders who can inspire people to see change as wonderful and exciting instead of scary. Seize Your Big Opportunity is an important way for us to help great leaders and create more leaders like them, at all levels and in every corner of society."
The Big Opportunity session is a powerful executive alignment experience that sets the stage for accelerating successful transformations. An organization's "big opportunity" is a picture of what it can potentially achieve in relation to changes happening right now in the world around it. It's a call to action that appeals to employees' heads and hearts, compelling them to change because they want to, not because they have to. In each session, Kotter International will facilitate creation of a powerful Big Opportunity statement that the executive team buys into and stands behind, and that clearly defines the opportunity the organization has in leading proactive change.
"We've found that leaders who align around a well-defined Big Opportunity and then empower their employees to act on it have far more success than those who use crises to incite change," says Dearman. "These are the people who drive sustained change that propels their organizations forward in leaps and bounds."
Seize Your Big Opportunity is open to organizations of all types and sizes -- businesses, educational institutions, non-profits, government agencies and others are all eligible. Interested organizations may submit a nomination that outlines how and why they want to change. Organizations with the most compelling cases will be asked to submit a more detailed application. To apply, go to .
"The world is changing faster every day, and the ability to get a major transformation right can mean the difference between thriving and dying," says Dearman. "With Seize Your Big Opportunity, we want to help more people in more organizations increase their chances of thriving in the future."
Kotter International helps Global 5000 company leaders develop the practical skills and implementation methodologies required to lead change in a complex, large-scale business environment. The firm works with organizations undertaking major change at an accelerated rate. Kotter International professionals walk the leaders of these organizations through Dr. John Kotter's and leave them with the competency to adapt and lead change in the future.
