Purpose•To Analyze the factors found in complex
Problems•It works as a Tool for Managing Change•It helps to identify those factors that must
be addressed and monitored if change is to be successful.

ProcedureStep 1:Defining the Problem
•What is the nature of our current situation that is unacceptable and needs modification?
• It is useful to separate the specific problem from those things that are working well.

Procedure continue……Step 2: Defining the Change Objective
•What is the desired situation that would be worth working toward?
•Be as Specific as possible.

Procedure continue……Step 3: Identifying the Driving Forces
•What are the factors or pressures that support change in the desired direction?
•What are the relative strengths of these forces?
•What are the inter-relationships among the
driving forces?

Procedure continue……Step 4: Identifying the Restraining
Forces
•What are the factors or pressures that resist the proposed change and Maintain the status quo?
•What are the inter-relationships among
the Restraining forces?

Procedure continue……Step 5: Developing the
Comprehensive Change Strategy•Strengthening any of the driving forces.•Adding new driving forces (possibly by
transforming a former restraining force)• - Removing or reducing any of the
restraining forces

Procedure continue……Step 6: should also include some
consideration of some of the possible unintended
•consequences when equilibrium forces are altered (e.g. Increase resistance, new alliances, fear etc.

Lewin’s change model
Lewin’s model has 3 steps: 1 unfreezing – reducing strength of forces which maintain current equilibrium 2 moving – developing new organisational values, attitudes and behaviours to help move the organisation on 3 refreezing – stablilizing after the changes have been made so that there’s a new equilibrium.
