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
