Over 30 years ago, Dr. Virginia Satir brought us a model for change that simply yet elegantly summarized the way a change impacts the performance of an organization.
As pictured here, the Satir change model shows how immediately after a change is introduced into an organization, the change is met with resistance. The conflict that is a normal part of resistance throws the organization into chaos. The group eventually integrates the change ultimately creating a new (and hopefully more productive) status quo.
