Lewin’s Change Theory
Our world continues to change, and therefore, people and organizations must change accordingly. Various researchers have created change models that have been throughout the years. One of the most highly regarded models is Lewin’s change theory, which has been utilized by many researchers. In fact, Lewin’s theory has been expanded upon, by other theorists, and continues to serve as a foundational base for other change models. As explored in our Interactive Lecture and required readings, Lewin’s model includes three foundational steps: (1) unfreezing, (2) change, and (3) refreezing. These three steps are aspects utilized in other change models.
