ABSTRACT
The very first known efforts of measuring and managing changes in the workplace actually began in the industrial revolution as Britain was moving manufacturing to factories and getting people to adopt the use of machinery instead of doing everything by hand. In 1977, Albert Bandura founded his social cognitive theory, which supported behavior change levers in the workplace based on social desirability. Anyone who is a change adoption professional should be familiar with each of these methods in name and broad concept. Bridges' Transition Model uses a three-stage approach: Ending, Losing, Letting Go, The Neutral Zone, and New Beginning. They recommend engagement and support and using additional change management tools from other methods to enhance. The Standard for Change Management by ACMP uses a five-area approach: evaluating change impacts and organization readiness, formulating change management strategy, developing change management plans, executing change management plans, and closing change management effort.
