A toolkit is a set of resources that guide users through a process, comprising activities, templates, methods, and directed steps, to help them navigate the planning process, regardless of its linearity.<\/p>\n<p>Our toolkit comprises six steps that provide practical considerations and activities to assist managers in making decisions during the change process. These steps have been adapted from Kotter&#8217;s Leading Change Method of 1996, which emphasizes creating urgency, developing a vision for change, empowering others, creating short-term victories, consolidating gains, and anchoring new approaches in the organizational culture. We acknowledge that these steps are not necessarily linear and may require concurrent implementation or re-evaluation based on the organization&#8217;s analysis or unique circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Although our toolkit was designed specifically for management in medical settings implementing LMS systems, its principles can be applied to any organization that plans to adopt an LMS system. It is critical to remember that our toolkit only covers phase one of the implementation process, which focuses on readiness assessment.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_cta title=&#8221;Click below to view toolkit&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||12px|||&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0257\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/239\/2023\/03\/LRNT525-Assignment-2-Toolkit-for-Assessing-Change.pdf\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-960\" style=\"color: #ffff00;text-decoration: underline\">LRNT525 &#8211; Assignment 2 &#8211; Toolkit for Assessing Change<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n[\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this assignment, we, Team B, focused on creating a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":259,"featured_media":961,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lrnt525"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0257\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0257\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0257\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0257\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/259"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0257\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=963"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0257\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/963\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":972,"href":"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0257\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/963\/revisions\/972"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0257\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0257\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0257\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0257\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
