ADKAR Model for Change Management
The ADKAR model is addresses change at the scale of the individual rather than the whole organization.
This is a part of the Prosci Change Management Methodology, however it is often used on its own as a
guiding framework for creating change initiatives.
ADKAR goal
Awareness of the need to change
Desire to participate and support the change
Knowledge of how to change (and what the change looks like)
Ability to implement the change on a day-to-day basis
Reinforcement to keep the change in place
The ADKAR change management model was first published in the 1998 book “The Perfect Change” by
Jeff Hiatt, founder and CEO of Prosci Research. For more information, see Hiatt. J.M. (2006) ADKAR: a
Model for change in business, government and our community.

Bridges explores human behaviors relating to change and defines typical emotions individuals might
exhibit during the change process. Bridges provides strategies on how to overcome some of the
emotional barriers to change, without getting stuck. For example, in the New Beginning phase, there may
be a great deal of fear of the unknown. One strategy might be to provide training on specific tools or
educational materials. In the Neutral Zone, allow creative ways to think about work. During the Ending
and Losing phase, people will feel committed and requires the need to sustain the new way of working,
possibly through goal setting. Include individuals through each phase of the transition. For more
information, see Bridges. W. (2009). Managing transitions: Making the most of change.

relatively narrow organizational structure. The selling point is its simplicity, memorable eight steps and
basis in Kotter’s thirty-plus years of research into organizational change. For more information, see
