Here are two organizations that have had similar issues and successes during a change management process.

1. Walmart

2. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)

For this assignment, write a 2-3 page analysis of the problems and the change models that were implemented to address each organization’s problems.

Next, you will compare and contrast the change models used.

Assignment Requirements are as follows:

1. Provide an overview of the issues that each organization faced.
2. Describe examples of at least three similarities and three differences between each change model.
3. The paper should include at least two peer-reviewed sources, such as journal articles from the Rasmussen Library.
