The Lewis Model of Change

The Lewis Model of Change describes how organizations adapt and grow through three stages: the "Unfreeze" stage, where existing habits are challenged; the "Change" stage, where new ways of working are introduced; and the "Refreeze" stage, where these new practices become standard. This model emphasizes that successful change requires preparing people for change, guiding them through the transition, and solidifying new behaviors to ensure lasting improvement. It helps organizations manage change smoothly by understanding that change is a process, not a one-time event.
