An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 8 th edition Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Chapter 6 Slide 2 Change and Reinvent (part 1 of 2) • Many organizations being forced to change radically. • Organizations face major challenge in managing change. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 8 th edition Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 8 th edition Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Chapter 6 Slide 6 Life Cycle of Resistance to Change (part 1 of 5) Response to change tends to move through 5 phases: • Phase 1: Change Introduced. – Only few people who see need for change. – Resistance appears massive. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 8 th edition Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Chapter 6 Slide 7 Life Cycle of Resistance to Change (part 2 of 5) • Phase 2: Forces Identified. – Forces for and against change identified. – Change more thoroughly understood. – Novelty of change tends to disappear. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 8 th edition Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Chapter 6 Slide 8 Life Cycle of Resistance to Change (part 3 of 5) • Phase 3: Direct Conflict. – Direct conflict and showdown between forces. – This phase probably means life or death to change. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 8 th edition Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Chapter 6 Slide 9 Life Cycle of Resistance to Change (part 4 of 5) • Phase 4. – Remaining resistance seen as stubborn. – Possibility resisters will mobilize to shift balance of power. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 8 th edition Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
