Why Explore Different Approaches to Change
“A key point for managers of change is to understand the distinction between the changes being managed in the external world and the concurrent psychological transitions that are experienced internally by people (including managers themselves”. (p. 13)

Why Explore Different Approaches to Change (con’t)
The 4 approaches to change:
Behavioural – changing behaviours.
Cognitive – achieving results.
Psychodynamic – the inner world of change.
Humanistic psychology – maximizing potential.
Please also see the diagram in the text. (p. 14)

p. 14.
Learning and the Process of Change
“Learning is not just an acquisition of knowledge, but the application of it through doing something different in the world.” (p. 14)
“Thinking not only requires time, it also requires ‘psychological space’.” (p. 15)
Ref: Cameron, E., & Green, M. (2015). Making Sense of Change Management (4rd edition ed.). Croydon, Great Britain: Kogan Page Limited.
p. 14-15.
Learning and the Process of Change (con’t)
Conscious and unconscious competence and incompetence. (p. 15-17)
Kolb’s learning cycle: (p. 17-18)
Honey and Mumford (1992) uses the labels:
Activist – concrete experience.
Pragmatist - practical experimentation.
Reflector – reflective observation.
Theorist – theoretical concepts.
Kolb would argue that true learning could not take place without someone going through all stages of the cycle.
