Organizational Design
Change Management
Change surrounds us. We experience change at work, at home, in the community, and beyond. Changes are events—with specific dates—when one thing stops, and the another thing starts. They are situational and external to us. However, as humans, our emotional reactions to change do not have clear stop/start dates.
Our transition usually includes three distinct phases: the ending, the neutral zone, and a new beginning.
Change begins with the loss of the way things have been, and progresses as we identify our thoughts and feelings while adapting to the new situation.
The tools and resources available here are designed to help individuals and leaders navigate the different emotions and reactions experienced during change.
