Lewin’s three-step model
According to Kurt Lewin, a company needs to follow three steps, such that, unfreezing,
movingand refreezing in order to change the organization’s existing model.
1. Unfreezing: Thisreduces the resisting forceswhich occurs due to psychological
dissatisfaction. Verbal communication is key solution of unfreezing. This is being applied to
control the current distorted situation (Cook, 2015).
2. Moving: Under this procedure, a company is asked to follow a specific path in order to
achieve the desired outcome. This requires involvement of every entities related to the
company.Therefore, organization’s behavior as well strategy have gone through some changes
for a while.
3. Refreezing: This action sets a new optimum level for the company. This level covers
the all possible concerns related to its sustainability, technology and infrastructure of the
company.
Both freezing and unfreezing involve conversations, discussing experiences and events
(Cummings et al., 2016). Companies are always focus at taking care of the promoting factors
which enhance productive capability. Except verbal communication, virtual platforms like
different social media platforms also have key impact on the organization irrespective of their
capital shares in the market.
