Dr. John Kotter has devoted his life to answering that question. While many theories exist, few have actually studied what effective leaders actually do and what we can learn from them. With over 35 years of experience as a researcher, author and advisor to some of the most influential business leaders of our time, Dr. Kotter is the world’s expert on leadership and how those leaders transform their organizations and the people in them.   

Kotter International brings Dr. Kotter’s personal involvement together with world-class practitioners in change leadership to transform the way organizations pursue large scale change initiatives. Kotter International’s approach is to walk alongside the senior management team of an organization for a period of time to support a major change initiative utilizing Dr. Kotter’s 8 Step process for change. Our objective is to leave behind the competency for leaders at all levels within the organization to adapt to and lead future change. This approach enables organizations to adapt and compete more effectively in a rapidly changing world.  

Client engagements are carried out with a Kotter International team of senior change practitioners and subject matter experts, overseen with the direct involvement of Dr. Kotter. Our client team walks alongside senior management to help create true urgency, develop an effective guiding coalition, design a powerful change vision, and helps them move through the rest of The 8-Step Process For Leading Change. Through this approach, we can both address the immediate organizational change need as well as leave behind an organization better equipped to lead change in the future.
