The 5-Transitions Model

The 5-Transitions Model describes five essential stages people experience when navigating significant change: 1) Recognizing the need for change, 2) Understanding the change’s impact, 3) Accepting and embracing it, 4) Adjusting behaviors and routines accordingly, and 5) Sustaining the new way forward. This model helps individuals and organizations manage change smoothly by acknowledging emotional responses and providing a clear pathway through transition. It emphasizes that change is a process, not just an event, and supports guiding people successfully from awareness to lasting adaptation.
