The Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM) • Change is a process, not an event. • The understanding of the change process in organizations requires an understanding of what happens to individuals as they are involved in change. • For the individual, change is a highly personal experience. • For the individual, change entails developmental growth in terms of feelings about and skill in using the innovation.
The Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM) • Information about the change process collected on an ongoing basis can be used to facilitate the management and implementation of the change process. • Change is accomplished by individuals first, then institutions. • The single most important factor in any change process is the people who will be most affected by the change.
Innovation Configurations (IC) • Specifying the Innovation Configurations helps to clarify and communicate expectations. • Recording use of components helps facilitators identify areas that need attention and then intervene appropriately.
Stages of Concern (SoC) • concern about self • Awareness (0) • Informational (1) • Personal (2) • concern about task • Management (3) • concern about impact • Consequence (4) • Collaboration (5) • Refocusing (6)
Levels of Use (LoU) • Non-use (0) • Orientation (I) • Preparation (II) • Mechanical Use (III) • Routine (IVA) Refinement (IVB) • Integration (V) • Renewal (VI)

Everett Rodgers’ theory of adopter categories • 2.5% “Innovators” (or venturesome) • 13.5% “Early Adopters” (or respectable) • 34.0% “Early Majority” (or deliberate) • 34.0% “Late Majority” (or skeptical) • 16.0% “Laggards” (or traditional)
