Kotter International - Greater Seattle Area
Kotter International is developing a line of business related to training organizations on leading transformation and The 8-Step Process for Leading Change. This line of business requires a significant amount of materials to support both course participants and course facilitators. We are in the process of adding a series of new workshop formats which will generate new variations on the course materials as well.
Kotter International is seeking a Project Manager to evaluate the supply chain and processes required to optimally support the production and distribution of all of the materials required to support our programs. This will include printed course materials, digital materials, posters, DVDs, books, and a series of other products in support of the programs. These programs will be conducted on a global scale and the fulfillment process must support global distribution.
This is a project specific role to build the appropriate set of systems and processes to support this business. It is not a permanent role in the company.

Kotter International brings the personal involvement of Dr. John Kotter, the world’s leading expert on organization change, together with world-class practitioners in change leadership to transform the way organizations pursue large-scale change initiatives. Kotter International’s advisory approach is to walk alongside the senior management team of an organization for a period of time to guide them in the use of Dr. Kotter’s 8-step process for change – producing needed change faster, better, more efficiently and more effectively. At the same time, our objective is to leave behind the competency for leaders at all levels within the organization to adapt to and lead future change. This “walk alongside and leave behind” approach is unique to Kotter International, and extremely powerful in making a difficult change happen today while leaving the organization more capable of dealing with change in the future.
