· Describing the specific change that needs to occur within the cycle of change: Preparing, Implementing and Sustaining

Examples:

Continuous change: planned, incremental, proactive, initiated by the organization.

Discontinuous change: unplanned, radical, reactive, unforeseen, imposed upon the organization by external forces

· Differentiate between the two types of change agents: Human and non-human

· Describe how one or both can be used in this scenario.

Examples:

Human: people affiliated with the organization
