Document Summary

Requires a fundamental and radical reorientation in the way an organization operates. Episodic change (out dated: organizations are inertial and change is infrequent, discontinuous, and intentional, emphasizes short-run adaptation. Analytic framework: change is an occasional interruption, tends to be dramatic and driven externally, seen as a failure of the organization to adapt its structure to changing environment. Transition: cognitive restructuring, semantic redefinition, conceptual enlargement, new standards of judgment. Refreeze: create supportive social norms, make change congruent with personality (stable state) Organizations are emergent and self-organizing, and change is constant and evolving. Change is a pattern of endless modifications in work processes and social practice. Response to continuous change ( always in a state of flux ) Rebalance: reinterpret, re-label, re-fashion approach ( re-evaluation process ) Unfreeze: resume improvisation, translation, and learning in ways that are more mindful of change. Typically there is strong resistance to change ( changes in orgs value )
