    Instilling cultural changes in an institution is an uphill battle. Some take up leadership positions at an institution in the hope of making lasting changes. Crafting a vision of change is obviously important, but often the execution of changes is stalled because the road ahead is too daunting. While change management is a well-studied discipline in the business world, we barely leverage this in academia. In this talk, we will introduce one specific change management model and discuss how well-defined steps could help us lead effective change in the academic enterprise, using a change in DEI culture as an example.
