change happen? 2 metaphors:,”‘Calm Waters’ metaphor is a description of organizational change that likens that change to a large ship making a predictable trip across a calm sea and experiencing an occasional storm. According to Lewin’s three-step-process, successful change requires unfreezing the status quo, changing to a new state, and freezing the new change to make it permanent. The status quo can be the equilibrium state. Unfreezing can be removed by:- Increasing the driving forces which direct behaviour away from the status quo- Decrease the restraining forces, which hinder movement from the existing equilibrium- Do bothIt should be freezed to sustain over time. In this process
change is a break in the organization’s equilibrium state.’White water rapids’ metaphor = a description of organizational change that likens that change to a small raft navigating a raging river. The organization is seen as a small raft navigating a raging river with uninterrupted white-water rapids. Change is the status quo and managing change is a continual process.”
