Change Management Models

Change management models are structured methods that help organizations smoothly implement change. They provide step-by-step approaches to prepare people, manage the transition, and embed new ways of working. These models focus on understanding the reasons for change, engaging stakeholders, and overcoming resistance, ensuring that changes are embraced and sustained effectively. Examples include Lewin's Unfreeze-Change-Refreeze, which guides breaking old habits, making the change, and stabilizing it, and Kotter's 8-Step Process, which emphasizes creating urgency, building teams, and anchoring new practices. Overall, they serve as guides to make change systematic, less disruptive, and more successful.
