Assignment: Models and Theories of Change Implementation

As with any formal, established process, there are some pre-existing models and theories developed by others to help manage that process. In essence, many of these models and theories are best practices that can be used by managers to avoid reinventing the wheel. This is true for change implementation, where models and theories can be modified and applied to many types of organizations, including the public health sector.

With this understanding, research the theories of effective change implementation using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and Internet resources.

Respond to the following:

• Explain your understanding of the three phases of planned change theory.
• Differentiate between content-driven change and process-driven change.
• Explain an approach to change management that encompasses task requirements and performance results.
• Describe a framework for change implementation that encompasses multiple theories.

Give reasons to support your statements.

Write your initial response in approximately 200 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
