The Change Formula

The Change Formula is a simple way to understand how change happens. It states that Change = Dissatisfaction + Vision + First Steps. This means that for meaningful change to occur, people need to be unhappy with the current situation (Dissatisfaction), they need a clear idea of what they want to achieve (Vision), and they need to know the first actions to start moving forward (First Steps). When all three are present, change becomes more likely and achievable. It’s a helpful tool for understanding and managing change in personal and organizational contexts.
