Process of Transition

Change is situational: new site, new boss, new team roles, new policy.

Transition is the psychological process people go through to come to terms with new situations

Change is different from transition

Change is external, transition is internal.

Bridges, W. (2003) Managing transitions: Making the most of change, 2nd ed London, Nicholas Brearley.

Unless transition occurs, change will not work

NEUTRAL ZONE

BEGINNING

ENDING

transition starts with an ending the neutral zone is the no-man’s-land between old reality and new transitions end with a new beginning
