The ADKAR Model

The ADKAR Model is a framework for managing change within organizations. It consists of five stages: Awareness (understanding why change is needed), Desire (wanting to support the change), Knowledge (knowing how to implement the change), Ability (having the skills to carry out the change), and Reinforcement (ensuring the change sticks). Each element is essential for successful change management, helping individuals and teams navigate transitions effectively. By addressing these components, organizations can improve their chances of adopting change smoothly and sustainably.
