This PPT slide, part of the 22-slide Lewin 3 Step Change Model PowerPoint presentation, outlines the "Unfreeze" phase of the Force Field Analysis, a framework designed to facilitate organizational change. It emphasizes the dual nature of forces at play during change initiatives: driving forces that encourage change and restraining forces that resist it. The content is structured into a sequential guide, providing a clear roadmap for organizations to navigate this complex process.
The first step, "Outline the desired change," stresses the importance of understanding the current state and articulating a clear vision for the future. This foundational understanding sets the stage for identifying both supportive and opposing forces. The second step, "Assume the driving forces," involves brainstorming factors that favor change, which should be documented visually on a force field diagram. This visual representation aids in comprehending the dynamics at play.
The third step, "Mind map the restricting forces," encourages organizations to contemplate and document the elements that resist change. This dual mapping of forces creates a comprehensive view of the situation. The subsequent steps focus on gauging the strength of these forces, analyzing their flexibility, and ultimately devising a strategy to address them. Rating the forces on a scale from 1 to 5 allows for a realistic assessment of their impact, guiding decision-making.
The final step, "Develop an action plan," emphasizes prioritizing key actions to maximize impact. It suggests distinguishing resources needed and considering implementation methods. This structured approach not only aids in understanding the forces at work, but also provides actionable insights for navigating change effectively. Overall, the slide serves as a practical guide for executives looking to manage change within their organizations.
