Lewins three stage change model ppt icon summary

Description:

The image presents Lewin's Three Stage Change Model, which is a framework developed by psychologist Kurt Lewin to understand organizational change. It consists of three main stages: Unfreezing, Changing, and Refreezing. Each stage is accompanied by key activities necessary for the successful implementation of change.

In the 'Unfreezing' stage, the focus is on creating a readiness to change. The activities include educating stakeholders so everyone understands the need for change, informing them about the specifics (the what, why, when, and how), consulting to gather views and ideas while allowing time for people to process this change, planning by setting objectives and organizing resources, and finally appointing leadership to guide the process.

The 'Changing' stage, also termed 'Implementation,' involves actions such as praise and encouragement to motivate those involved, recognition and empathy to manage emotional responses, coaching and training for skill development, leading and managing the change process, providing regular feedback, and ensuring that adequate resources are available.

Lastly, the 'Refreezing' stage is about 'Making it Stick.' This includes setting performance indicators, monitoring and evaluating the change, establishing systems and controls to ensure the new behaviors are maintained, rewarding new behaviors, sanctioning or withholding rewards for old behaviors that are not desired, and developing a period of stability to consolidate the changes made.

The yellow note on the right side of the image emphasizes that this framework is customizable according to specific requirements.
