7 tools in this category
- Change Management/Leadership — Runs Kotter's eight-step structural spine alongside the human side of change - who's losing what, and what needs grieving.
- Complex Adaptive Systems — Treats change as emergent, not planned - run small safe-to-fail probes, sense what happens, amplify or dampen.
- Iceberg Model — Look past the visible event to the pattern, structure and mental models that keep producing it.
- Kubler-Ross — Maps the emotional stages of change - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance - so you meet people where they are.
- Lewin-Schein Change Theory — Unfreeze, change, refreeze - and don't skip the unfreeze or the change won't survive the week.
- Switch — Diagnose a stalled change by checking the rational direction, the emotional pull, and the path itself.
- altMBA - Org Chart Transitions — Draw the current and future org chart together, name every role change, and time the transition explicitly.
