Consider the setting/location for your DNP project. What organizational changes are currently underway? Economic? Administrative? Leadership? Financial? Consider the risks that you may come up against as you attempt to gain buy-in and implement your DNP project. Suppose there is concern that the existing employees may not embrace your work, and you've been tasked with creating a plan to minimize the fallout.

Develop a plan to facilitate the smooth implementation of your DNP project against the changes set forth. How will you optimize stakeholder buy-in, satisfaction, and productivity? For this assignment, you will write a short essay that explains the details of your plan and be sure to integrate concrete examples and supportive reasoning for how to implement this plan following each step of Lewin's 3-Stage Model of Change or Kotter's 8-Step Change Model.
