Determine the driving forces (positive forces for change) and restraining forces (obstacles to changes). Driving forces - What are the factors or pressures that support change in the desired direction? Restraining forces - What are the factors or pressures that resist the proposed change and maintain the status quo? Think about these as broadly as possible. These may include feelings, social pressures, physical resources, financial factors, personality factors, etc. MGT531 Instructor: Dr. Hyoun Sook Lim Step 3. Rate the relative strength of the forces using a scale ranging from 1 to 5 (1 being a weak force, and 5 a strong force). Step 4. Convert the analysis into an action plan - strengthening driving forces and weakening restraining forces. Based on your analysis in step 2 and 3, choose the one or two forces on each side that appear to be pushing hardest for change or resisting it most strongly. These are the forces that should receive most attention. Using the table below, create an action plan. The table help you clarify what needs to be done, how it needs to be done, who is responsible, and the due dates you need to be concerned about, etc. Strategy Action Responsibility T
