Alan Mumford

Alan Mumford was a British researcher known for developing a model to describe how individuals react to and manage change within organizations. His framework identifies four primary ways people respond: they either react positively by embracing change, resist it, evaluate it carefully before accepting, or delay to see how things unfold. This understanding helps managers support employees through transitions more effectively. Mumford’s work emphasizes that recognizing these different responses can improve change management strategies and workplace adaptation.
