  2. CONTENTS • INTRODUCTION • LEWIN’S MODEL • THREE STAGE PROCESS IN GENERAL • THREE STAGE PROCESS IN ORGANIZATION • EXAMPLE OF CONTINENTAL AIRLINES • CONCLUSION

  3. INTRODUCTION • Change is a common thread that runs through all businesses regardless of size, industry and age. • Organizations that handle change well thrive, whilst those that do not may struggle to survive. • The concept of "change management" is a familiar one in most businesses today.

  4. LEWIN’S MODEL • One of the cornerstone models for understanding organizational change was developed by Kurt Lewin back in the 1950s, and still holds true today. • An early model of change developed by Lewin is known as Unfreeze – Change – Refreeze, refers to the three-stage process of change.

  5. THE THREE STAGE PROCESS IN GENERAL • 1st stage: Unfreezing • 2nd stage: Change • 3rd stage : Freezing

  6. THREE STAGE PROCESS WITHIN AN ORGANIZATION

  7. UNFREEZE • To accept the change which is necessary. • Preparing the organization for changes to take place. • To re-examine its core motivation of people within the organization.

  8. CHANGE • To resolve the uncertainty and look forward to do things in a new direction. • Time and communication are the two keys to success for the changes to occur. • The change curve focuses on the specific issues of personal transitions in a changing environment.

  9. REFREEZE • When changes are being implemented and when the people are getting used to the new changes the organization is ready to freeze. • To be keen on incorporating the changes in the everyday business. • To celebrate the success of change.

  10. EXAMPLE • “Go Forward Airline”(Continental Airlines)

  11. CONCLUSION • Kurt Lewin's three step model assumes that organizations tend to revert to there former ways of doing things unless the changes are reinforced. • This model requires a process be in place that supports and maintains the changes which includes employee performance appraisal systems and reward systems to influence those to adhere to the firm's new values.
