Change Management Models: 02. Lewin's Change Management Model

Kurt Lewin was an influential psychologist who is generally considered to be the founding father of change management. He developed one of the cornerstone models for understanding organizational change back in 1947. The model is still widely used today and is regarded as the "fundamental" or "classic" approach to managing change. In this course, we'll go over this three-step model known as unfreeze, change, and refreeze. We'll talk about how to apply these practices to an organizational change. We'll discuss how to communicate a change initiative, implement it, and then institutionalize the change. We'll also go over the change curve and leading through change.
