Understanding the Lewin Change Model Framework PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 32-slide Change Transition Management PowerPoint presentation, presents the Lewin Change Model, a widely recognized framework for managing organizational change. It outlines a three-step process: Unfreeze, Change (or Transition), and Freeze (or Refreeze). The model is designed to help organizations navigate the complexities of change, emphasizing the need for a structured approach.

The first step, Unfreeze, involves preparing the organization for change by challenging the current state and creating a sense of urgency. This phase is critical as it sets the stage for the transition, highlighting the need to disrupt existing norms and practices.

The second step, Change, focuses on the actual implementation of new processes, behaviors, or structures. This phase is where the organization begins to move towards the desired state. It requires effective communication and support to ensure that employees understand and embrace the changes being made.

The final step, Freeze (or Refreeze), aims to solidify the new changes into the organizational culture. This phase is often overlooked, as many assume that once the changes are made, they will naturally take hold. However, the slide emphasizes that without intentional efforts to reinforce the new state, there is a risk of reverting to old habits.

The accompanying notes highlight that the model's origins stem from the "Force Field Model," which aids in understanding the dynamics of change. It also points out a common oversight in discussions about the model, where the focus tends to be on the first 2 steps, often neglecting the importance of the Refreeze phase. This insight serves as a reminder that successful change management requires attention to all phases of the process.
