Change Formula

Have you ever wondered what the "formula" is for understanding the impetus for change? I have successfully used this to provide visibility into the effectiveness of leading a successful change.

Change Formula

Dissatisfaction with

the status quo or obstacles x Vision for the future x First Steps

> Resistance

Dannemiller version: D x V x F > R

Three factors must be present for meaningful organizational change to take place. These factors are:

D = Dissatisfaction with how things are now;

V = Vision of what is possible;

F = First, concrete steps that can be taken towards the vision;

If the product of these three factors is greater than

R = Resistance
