Assignment: Digital Transformation Individual Assignments Due: Week 5. Your team has won the contract to plan, oversee, execute the digital transformation at a textile/clothing and accessories organization that has about 200 employees across two cities. The CEO believes that the first task is to bring awareness of the transformation to the entire company and create a sense of urgency to adapt to the new change. As with all capital intensive I.T. projects, there needs to be research and understanding of how this project will impact the department, organization, customers, and every other stakeholder. There needs to be a vision and a plan, and how the transformation will be managed including any potential roadblocks and how to mitigate them. Part 1 (10%): The research for this paper will help you to understand the importance of change management in the digital transformation process.

For each model, summarize each model and include a diagram of each model. 3. From your examination of the fears that employees have for change in point 1, explain how either of the two change models selected in point 2 will alleviate those fears. 4.
