#managing change

Jeff Hiatt created the ADKAR model at Prosci after studying over 1000 organizations going through major changes. It maps five sequential psychological stages that every person must complete for organizational change to succeed.

McKinsey research shows 70 percent of change initiatives fail to reach goals, mostly due to employee resistance. A structured change management process using proven models like ADKAR and Lewin Unfreeze-Change-Freeze addresses both the technical and emotional sides of organizational transition, making new ways of working permanent instead of temporary.
