1. Identifying need for change : depends ongap analysis, the gap between desired stateof affairs and actual state of affairs, thedifference between what the org is
achieving and what it should achieve.
2. Elements to be changed : Usually change isrequired in three major elements of the org.Org Structure, Technology and People.

3. Planning for change: Its includesWho will bring the change
When to bring Change
How to bring change4. Accessing change forces: In a group process
there are some forces favoring and someopposing to maintain an equilibrium. It has
been referred as field force analysis by KurtLewin.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/organizational-change-2-1 11/36
As per Kurt Lewin, there are both driving andrestraining forces which influence any changethat may occur.
Driving Forces : Affect a situation by pushing it in a
particular direction, They tend to initiate changeand keep it going.
Restraining Forces: they restrain change anddecrease the driving forces.
Equilibrium is reached when the sum of drivingforces equals the sum of restraining forces.

Management may change the equilibrium by someefforts. For introducing change, managementmay face three types of situation based on theoperation of field force:
1. If the driving forces far overweight thanrestraining forces, management can pushdriving forces and overpower restraining forces.
2. If restraining forces are stronger than drivingforces than management may either give up the
change programme or pursue it byconcentrating on driving forces and changingrestraining forces into driving forces.
8/3/2019 Organizational Change 2 (1)

3. If driving and restraining forces are fairlyequal, management can push up the drivingforces and at the same time, can convert orimmobilize restraining forces.
Management has to push driving forces andconvert and immobilize restraining forces sothat people accept change. If the equilibrium
of driving and restraining forces are atdesired level, then Organization can go for achange.

Kurt Lewin proposed that organizationsshould use three steps to introducepermanent change –

2. Movement to a new state
3. Refreeze

3. Refreeze : Stabilizing a change intervention bybalancing, driving and restraining forces.
This step involves reinforcing the change so thatthe organization does not revert to old stage of
things. Ex. Employees are asked to demonstratetheir new skills or role play that how they willapply their new skills at the workplace.
Repetition and constant reinforcement of new
work techniques is essential to sustain change.

Diagnosis & Analysis : After diagnosis andanalysis of the problem the change agentshare the feedback with employees that whathe has found from step 1 and 2.
Feedback: Change agent share the feedbackand employees, with the help of change agent, develop action plan for bringing requiredchange.

People tend to resist many types of changesbecause new habits or sacrifices are required.
Resistance can be overt, implicit, immediate ordeferred.
Its easy to deal with resistance when its overtand immediate for example. A change isproposed and employees quickly respond byvoicing complaints, work slowdown,threatening to got on strike etc.

Its difficult to manage resistance when itsimplicit of differed. Like loss of loyalty to theorganization, loss of motivation to work,increased errors or mistakes, increased
absenteeism due to sickness and hence aremore difficult to reorganize.
