Change Management Models

Change management, the process of guiding organizations through adjustments, plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth transition from current operations to desired objectives. This comprehensive overview highlights three foundational models: Lewin’s Change Management Model, which breaks change into stages of unfreezing, changing, and refreezing; Kotter’s 8-Step Process, which emphasizes vision, communication, and anchoring new approaches; and the ADKAR model, focusing on individual-centric steps from awareness to reinforcement. Not merely checklists, these models help leaders effectively communicate, engage teams, and ensure sustainable, beneficial change. The text also illuminates their successful application through diverse case studies, from the Barcelona City Council’s digital transformation to Etsy’s strategic shift using the McKinsey 7-S Model. Readers will gain insights into how top organizations and leaders leverage these frameworks to drive transformative change.
