Theory U

Theory U is a change management framework that outlines a process for leading transformative change. It illustrates a journey through a "U" shape: starting from the current state, moving down into a deeper understanding of the challenges, then allowing for new ideas to emerge at the bottom, and finally ascending to a new, higher state of action and realization. This approach emphasizes co-creation, collective intelligence, and fostering an environment for innovation, helping individuals and organizations navigate complex changes by engaging their deeper motivations and aspirations.
