Kurt Lewin's Change Model

Kurt Lewin's Change Model

1. 1ST STAGE UNFREEZING

   • Understanding the need for change due to specific circumstances, old ways are not working.
     • Have to be aware of the necessity of the change, nature of the change needed, methods planned to achieve the change, needs of those affected and the ways that progress will be planned and monitored

2. 2ND STAGE CHANGE

   • This is the process of devising and implementing the change
     • Define the problem, identify the solutions, devise appropriate strategy to implement the change, implement the solution

3. 3RD STAGE REFREEZING

   • Process of maintaining the momentum of change
     • Locking in the changes, stabilizing the situation, building relationships,consolidating the systems, evaluation and support, preventing any going back to the old ways, refreezing is complete when the new patterns are accepted and followed willingly
