3. DRIVING FORCES:
Forces affecting a situation that are pushing in a
Restraining
particular direction. Forces
Examples: improving productivity in a work group,
competition and pressure from supervisor.
RESTRAINING FORCES: Driving
Forces
Forces acting to restrain or decrease the driving
forces
Examples: poor maintenance of equipment. Lack of
training.
EQUILIBRIUM
DRIVING FORCES = RESTRAINING FORCES
5. LEWIN’S 3 STAGES MODEL:
1. UNFREEZING
2. CHANGING
- Recognize the need for
- Identify new behaviors & norms
change
-Communicate
- Identifying driving &
- Adopt new attitudes & culture
resisting forces
3. REFREEZING
- Reinforce new behavior through
reward
system, communication, structures
6. Are you a resistor?
• Resistance is where
you try to maintain the
status quo and do not
accept change!
• The refusal to accept or
comply with something;
the attempt to prevent
something by action or
argument.
7. 1. Resistance incidents are causes of
deeper problem in the change
process.
- Change agent do not provided fully
information
- Employees worried about consequences of
change
- Concern about process of change itself
8. 2. Resistance should be recognized as a
form of constructive conflict.
- Employees developed better decision
- Accompany by Dysfunctional
relationship conflict
- Change agent see resistance to change as
impediment rather than a sources.
- Should focus on understanding why those
people resist.
9. 3. Resistance view as justice and
motivation context.
Justice
- A form of voice : improve procedural
justice
- Change agent : increase employee
perception +fairness
Motivation
- Engage people to think about the
change strategy and process.

11. Direct cost
• Higher expenses and lower benefit or
wages.
Saving face
• Taking preventive actions so that
you, yourself will not be humiliated.
12. Fear of unknown
afraid of entering and exploring the
new ground, because they think they
might fail to adopt new change
Breaking routine
• People do not want to give up their
comfort zone and daily routine that
provide predictability.
E.g. Government worker who go to work
8.00am till 5.00p.m.
13. Incongruent team dynamics
• Team norm may conflict with the desired
change & consequently reinforced to
maintaining status quo.
Incongruent
organizational systems
• Control system for rewards, training, etc are
harder to change and might not adapt
quickly to the new system so may
discouraging employee to adapt the
change.
14. Creating an Urgency for Change
• Customer-driven change.
Adverse consequences for firm
Human element energizes employees
• Creating an urgency for change without
external forces.
Requires persuasive influence
Use positive vision rather than threats

17. Change Agents
anyone who possess enough knowledge
and power to guide and facilitate the
change effort

18. Strategic Vision
- Provides direction
- Establish critical success factors against
which the real changes are evaluate.
- Provides emotional foundation to
change
- Minimizes fear of unknown
- Clarifies role perceptions

• An organizational change strategy that :
directs the group’s attention away from it’s
own problems
focuses participants on the group’s potential
and positive elements.

25. The Four-D Model of Appreciative
Inquiry
1. Discovery 2. Dreaming 3. Designing 4. Delivering
• Identifying • Envisioning • Engaging • Developing
the best of “what in dialogue objectives
“what is” might be” about about
“what “what will

26. Large-Group Interventions
• Future search, open space, and other
interventions that involve “the whole system”
• There are some limitations of large group
interventions
27. PARALLEL LEARNING STRUCTURE
APPROACHES
• Known as “communities of practice”
• Advantages:
1. It brings underutilized but talented
employees to the forefront.
• Roundtable session are a knowledge-
sharing tool at the heart of parallel
learning structure.
