Cycle of Change Model – Description

Use the Cycle of Change Model from Chapter 2 of Campbell (2014) (attached) to evaluate the organizational transformation process of a well-known company: Caterpillar, Incorporated.
Read Bouchard’s (2014) The Caterpillar Way: Lessons in Leadership, Growth, and Shareholder Value, and the case study from Neilson and Pasternack (2005) about Caterpillar’s organizational transformation, titled The Cat that Came Back (attached). As you read through these two sources, be sure that you carefully consider how the various steps in the Cycle of Change Model were employed by Caterpillar as it undertook its massive, yet immensely successful organizational transformation.
After reading the two Caterpillar sources, and using 3 scholarly sources, respond to the following:
Apply      the Cycle of Change Model to the Caterpillar case study. That is,
Direct       the change: Minimally, describe the process by which Caterpillar       determined the nature and scope of the change needed. Did the       organization explicitly state what the expected outcome(s) of the       transformation would be? How well was the change articulated?
Drive       the change: How was the company’s new vision made known? What was the       process for “driving” and energizing people involved with and responsible       for the organizational transformation? 
Deliver       the change: Describe the process by which Caterpillar delivered the       change (e.g., project management).
Prepare       for the change: Discuss Caterpillar’s change management process; how were       the company’s people and culture prepared for such a massive       transformation?

How       was the change propagated throughout the organization?

What       benefits/value did Caterpillar realize from the organizational       transformation process? Were the outcomes consistent with the benefits       that were contemplated at the outset of the planning process?
With      the understanding that Caterpillar’s transformation was tremendously      successful, provide your impressions concerning the extent to which      Caterpillar adhered to the Cycle of Change Model.

Related      to Item No. 2, what did Caterpillar do particularly well in terms of      following the Cycle of Change Model sequence?
Conclude      your paper by providing recommendations on what Caterpillar might have      done differently to improve the organizational transformation.
