Research the various change models used by organizations today. After assessing these models, create a change model conducive to your field (Higher Education (Dallas College) that will work within your organization's culture. This model should serve to implement a strategic process that can help your organization integrate a change and respond to the internal or external driving forces that affect organizational success.

Create a visual representation of your model using a graphic organizer of your choice (flow chart, concept map, etc.). Based on a critical analysis of your organization's culture and behavior, your model's design will be unique and relevant to your organization. However, it must demonstrate the necessary steps for realistic implementation.

Your model will be assessed on the quality of strategic implementation you design, the support you present for your model, and the inclusion of the following concepts:

1)Methods to evaluate the need for change.

2)Approach and criteria for choosing individuals or teams necessary for a change initiative. 3)Communication strategies

4)Strategies to gather stakeholder support and overcome resistance

5)Implementation strategies

6)Sustainability strategies

Once you have created your model, prepare a 15-20 slide PowerPoint presentation to present it and demonstrate how it is relevant to your organization and why it will work well within your organization's culture. In conclusion, discuss why this model will lead to sustainable change when most change initiatives fail. You will utilize this change model for your final paper.
