This product (ADKAR Change Management Model) is a 16-slide PPT PowerPoint presentation slide deck (PPTX), which you can download immediately upon purchase.
Created by Jeff Hiatt, the founder of Prosci® (a global change management services and research company), the ADKAR® model is a powerful tool for change management professionals and leaders who need to motivate change in others. The tool helps in identifying why change is difficult and why some changes succeed while others are unsuccessful. The ADKAR® model was developed based on the outcomes necessary to sustain successful change.
The acronym ADKAR® is based on five building blocks (or elements) that lead to successful change:
These five building blocks of the ADKAR® model are sequential. Change exists at two dimensions: people and business. The ADKAR® change model necessitates both dimensions evolving concurrently. Change often commences at the personal level, but with the support of employees an organization may be able to create fruitful results faster and more easily.

The ADKAR® Change Management Model offers structured guidance to an otherwise vague change process at the organizational as well as individual level. It delineates an individual’s successful journey through change, aligning naturally with standard Change Management activities. The model provides direction to help plan for change effectively, detailing each step with specific activities associated with leading change.
Implementing change in organizations, businesses, and communities necessitates an understanding of how to influence individual change. The ADKAR® Change Model can be applied to a variety of situations, following a structured approach. Successful change is ingrained by facilitating change at the individual level, ensuring all stakeholders are aligned and committed to the change process.
This PPT slide outlines the dual dimensions of change that organizations must address: the organizational side and the people side. It emphasizes that successful change initiatives require simultaneous focus on both areas. The ADKAR model is highlighted as a framework for managing change effectively.
On the people side, 5 key elements are identified: Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, and Reinforcement. These components are crucial for ensuring that individuals within the organization are not only informed about the change, but also motivated to embrace it. Each element plays a specific role in facilitating personal transitions during the change process. For instance, Awareness is about understanding the need for change, while Desire reflects the willingness to support it. Knowledge pertains to the information required to implement the change, Ability focuses on the skills needed, and Reinforcement ensures that the change is sustained over time.
The organizational side is broken down into phases of a change project: Business need, Concept & design, Implementation, and Post implementation. This structured approach allows organizations to systematically address the various stages of change, ensuring that both the organizational framework and the individual experiences are aligned.
The slide concludes with a reminder that organizational changes necessitate adjustments in how individuals perform their roles. This reinforces the idea that both dimensions are interconnected and must be managed together for a successful transformation. Understanding these dynamics is essential for leaders looking to drive effective change initiatives within their organizations.
This PPT slide contrasts 2 dimensions of change management: the organizational and the people dimensions. The organizational dimension focuses on tangible aspects of change initiatives. It outlines a sequence of steps typically followed in implementing a new solution. These steps include identifying a business need or opportunity, defining project scope and objectives, designing the business solution, developing new processes and systems, and finally, implementing the solution within the organization. This structured approach is familiar to most managers, as it aligns with standard project management practices.
On the other hand, the people dimension emphasizes the human factors involved in change management. It highlights the importance of effective change management practices that engage employees, which studies have shown to be critical for project success. The slide introduces the ADKAR® model, which outlines 5 key elements essential for managing the people side of change. These elements are awareness of the need for change, desire to support the change, knowledge of how to change, ability to implement the change on a daily basis, and reinforcement to maintain the change over time.
Understanding both dimensions is crucial for successful change initiatives. While managers may feel comfortable with the organizational aspects, neglecting the people dimension can lead to resistance and failure. The slide serves as a reminder that effective change management requires a balanced approach that incorporates both the structured organizational steps and the nuanced human elements.
This PPT slide outlines the application of the ADKAR Model in organizational change initiatives, focusing on the first 2 components: Awareness and Desire. It emphasizes that for any change to be effective, employees must first be aware of the necessity for change. Without this awareness, implementation efforts may lack employee interest and commitment. The text suggests that clear communication from leadership about the drawbacks of existing systems and the benefits of new software is essential. Awareness campaigns are recommended to foster a positive response among employees, highlighting the importance of leadership in conveying these messages.
The second part of the slide addresses the Desire component. It stresses that employees must have a genuine desire to engage in the change process. Common sentiments among employees, such as skepticism about the change's value, can hinder progress. The slide suggests that supervisors play a crucial role in addressing these concerns. They can help identify the reasons behind employee resistance and facilitate discussions that clarify the benefits of the change. This direct engagement is vital for overcoming obstacles to commitment. Ultimately, the slide underscores that personal motivation among employees is key to successful change initiatives, as individuals must make their own decisions to participate based on personal reasons.
This PPT slide presents the ADKAR Change Management Model, emphasizing the essential elements necessary for successful change implementation. It outlines 5 critical components: Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, and Reinforcement, each represented by a distinct colored block.
Awareness is the first element, highlighting the necessity for all stakeholders to understand the reasons behind the change. It stresses that awareness serves as the foundation for initiating any organizational change, ensuring that initial messages are effectively communicated.
Desire follows, focusing on the need for stakeholders to want to engage with and support the change. This element underscores the importance of fostering a positive attitude toward change, which is crucial for overcoming resistance and ensuring active participation.
Knowledge is the third component, which emphasizes that stakeholders must possess a comprehensive understanding of the change process and its objectives. This element is linked to training and coaching, ensuring that individuals are well-equipped to navigate the change.
Ability is the fourth element, stressing that stakeholders should have the capability to implement the change effectively. It points out the importance of developing new skills and managing behaviors to facilitate acceptance of the change.
Lastly, Reinforcement is crucial for sustaining change. It makes it clear that ongoing support and recognition are necessary to prevent regression. This element focuses on measuring adoption and providing corrective actions as needed.
Overall, the slide effectively outlines a structured approach to managing change, making it clear that each element is interdependent and essential for achieving successful outcomes.
