We Are Proud To Be Your Partner For Kotter Training

As your Kotter Training Partner in the UK and Ireland, we offer the full range of Kotter Training courses and certifications in change leadership. Dr. John Kotter,  the renowned Harvard professor and best-selling author, has transformed the way we understand leadership and change. Drawing on five decades of empirical research and his influential books, he has pioneered the Science of Change, introducing concepts like the 8 Steps for Leading Change, the 4 Core Change Principles, a dual operating system, and the neuroscience of change. These powerful frameworks are the foundation of his approach, guiding us in driving meaningful transformation in organisations everywhere.

The 8 Accelerators For Leading Change METHODOLOGY

For over forty years, Dr. Kotter has closely studied leaders and organisations as they navigate transformation and execute strategies. From these observations, he identified the key success factors that led to the creation of the 8 Steps for Leading Change. With the founding of Kotter, he shifted from research to impactful action, evolving the linear 8 Steps into the 8 Accelerators presented in his 2014 book, Accelerate, and further refined in the firm’s 2021 publication, CHANGE. This evolution showcases Kotter Training’s dedication to driving meaningful and effective change in today’s fast-paced landscape.

The 4 Core Change Principles METHODOLOGY

The 4 Core Change Principles were developed directly from his work with clients, serving as essential tenets for maximizing the impact of the 8 Steps. These principles were first introduced in Dr. Kotter’s Harvard Business Review article, Accelerate! When applied as a litmus test for change-related decisions and actions, these principles empower organisations to become more adaptable and responsive in a rapidly changing landscape.

The Science of Change METHODOLOGY

Our evolution has led to a two-channel system—Survive and Thrive—that shapes our responses to threats and opportunities. Most people underestimate the strength of our innate survival instinct, which can inadvertently overshadow our ability to recognize opportunities, innovate, adapt, and drive positive change. Understanding this dynamic is crucial for fostering a culture of growth and resilience within your organisation.
