Study Notes

Change as a Process Based on K. Lewin

  • Change process involves three phases: Unfreezing, Transition, and Refreezing
  • Unfreezing phase: making the need for change obvious, often involving "pain" for those involved
  • Transition phase: disengagement from status quo, development of new attitudes or behaviors
  • Refreezing phase: locking the new behavior pattern into place, making it the new norm/routine

8 Steps of Change as a Process

  • Unfreezing Phase:
    • Establishing a Sense of Urgency: examining the environment, identifying and discussing crises or opportunities
    • Forming a Powerful Guiding Coalition: assembling a group with enough power to lead the change effort
    • Creating a Vision: creating a vision to direct the change effort, developing strategies for achieving it
    • Communicating the Vision: communicating the new vision and strategies, teaching new behaviors by example
  • Transition Phase:
    • Empowering others to Act on the Vision: getting rid of obstacles, changing systems or structures that undermine the vision
    • Planning for and creating Short-Term Wins: planning for visible performance improvements, creating and recognizing those improvements
    • Consolidating Improvements and Producing Still More Change: using increased credibility to change systems, structures, and policies
  • Refreezing Phase:
    • Institutionalizing New Approaches: articulating the connections between new behaviors and organizational success, developing leadership development and succession

Changing Attitude, Involvement, and Energy of People Affected by Change

  • Shock and Surprise: confronting unexpected situations, realizing traditional patterns are not suitable, and perceived competence decreases
  • Denial and Refusal: energizing conviction that change is not necessary, and perceived competence rises
  • Rational Understanding: realizing the need for change, perceived competence decreases, focusing on short-term solutions
  • Emotional Acceptance: turning point, willingness to change values, beliefs, and behaviors
  • Exercising and Learning: new acceptance of change, new willingness for learning, and increase in perceived own competence
