involves determining that a change needs to occur and deciding to take action. Moving is the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


second phase and involves actively planning changes and taking action on them. Refreezing is

Unfreezing begins when reasons for change are identified. The moving phase involves active
v v v v v v v v v v v v


planning and action. Moving also means you are dealing with both positive and negative
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


forces as they ebb and flow, and you are making modifications to your plan as needed.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


Refreezing occurs after the change has become routine. v v v v v v v
