What are change management models?
When the need for change becomes obvious, your organization must determine the best
steps to take to put that change into effect. If you play it by ear and hope for the best, you’re
taking a big risk. Many change projects fail. But if you look to examples of successful change
management to base your own strategy on, your odds of success increase.
1. Lewin’s change management model/ Lewin,s three step model
This model is named after its originator, Kurt Lewin, who developed it in the 1950s. It’s
divides the change process into three steps:
● Unfreeze This is the preparation stage. Analyze how things work now, so you
accurately understand what needs to change to get the intended results. In this
stage, you also make your case to employees and communicate what to expect so
everyone impacted is prepared.
● Change This is the implementation phase. Put the change into practice, and keep
communicating and providing support for all employees involved.
