  12. Key Area 5: Force field analysis (continued) Step 5 Set the factors out as a diagram – using a scale of 1 – 5 for each factor Step 6 Think about and describe your tactics for reducing the restraining forces and/or increasing the driving forces. Decide if the tactics are possible Step 7 Decide who is responsible for carrying out the actions for each of the factors described.

  13. Key Area 5: Force field analysis 5 5 Proposed change: Line managers responsible for PDR to carry out screening for Skills for Life and incorporate targets into PDP Lack of time for training Need to address causes of under performance All KSF job role core and specific competencies are mapped to SfL Skills for Life is not the only important issue Line managers may have Skills for life needs themselves Achievement of Skills for Life targets is linked to gateway progression at foundation stage PDR and PDP is already a new undertaking Forces FOR change Forces AGAINST change
