   3. Deliver the change: Describe the process by   which Caterpillar delivered the change (project management, e.g.).
   4. Prepare for the change: Discuss Caterpillar’s   change management process; how were the company’s people and culture prepared   for such a massive transformation?                     .
   5. How was the change propagated throughout the   organization?
   6. What benefits/ value did Caterpillar realize   from the organizational transformation process? Were the outcomes consistent   with the benefits that were contemplated at the outset of the planning   process?
