1) Introduction
In a series of content, Bigrock refresh traditional Management Theories for today’s Managers. These theories have stood the test of time and are as effective today as they ever were.
The second in the series, this infographic explores how to implement and manage change. Change can be tough for any organisation, but the ability to adapt to circumstances and the flexibility to adjust to make the most of opportunities are key to the success of any business. Managers at all levels, but particularly in senior positions, must take the lead in implementing change. They must be seen to initiate any change, to promote it, to act on it, to abide by it and to review its effectiveness and reward the results.

2) Kurt Lewin
Lewin’s Change Theory, developed by Kurt Lewin, proposes a three-stage model for managing organisational change: Unfreeze, Change, and Refreeze. This model outlines how individuals and groups can move from a current state to a desired future state by first preparing for change, then implementing it, and finally solidifying the new state.
