Applying Kotter's model to the safety change process initiated and led by Ms Cynthia
Carroll as CEO of Anglo American plc for the period 2007 to 2013:
a) Establishing a sense of urgency: Ms Carroll recognized the importance of
safety in the mining industry and the need to reduce accidents and fatalities.
She communicated this urgency to the company's employees, shareholders,
and stakeholders.
b) Creating a guiding coalition: Ms Carroll formed a safety task force that
included members from all levels of the organization, including senior
executives, middle managers, and frontline employees. This group was
tasked with developing and implementing safety policies and procedures.
c) Developing a vision and strategy: The safety task force developed a vision for
safety in the company and a strategy for achieving that vision, which included
a focus on risk management, safety training, and employee engagement.
