About the Article
Sustaining meaningful transformation requires more than vision—it demands structure, participation, and persistence. This Teaching Paper introduces a Change Management Plan Template that helps non-profit leaders design and manage change initiatives effectively. Combining insights from Lewin’s, Kotter’s, and Bryson’s frameworks, the template outlines seven key components: vision setting, stakeholder analysis, communication, training, short-term wins, monitoring, and sustainability. By applying this model, leaders can align teams, foster engagement, and embed change into organizational culture. The framework bridges theory and practice, offering actionable guidance for achieving long-term impact in resource-limited environments.
