Force Field Analysis
Among change management models, the Force Field Analysis Model is one of the most famous. Kurt Lewin originally developed it, and since that time it has continued to grow and be used in numerous organizations. In my current organization, there are several issues where the model has come into play. The most important one of those issues involves the support from top management. My organization is very good about making sure management does what is needed to provide support to the workers. A recent situation came up with a new person, where she did not feel she was getting enough training from her immediate supervisor.

We would have lost a great worker, and would have been the company's fault for not using the Force Field Analysis Model to its greatest advantage and in the proper way. It was a very important lesson to learn, and one that the company will likely take to heart in the future.

Systems theory is described by Heylighen and Joslyn (1992) as a "transdisciplinary study of the abstract organization of phenomena," arguing that things can be understood as systems. These systems are comprised of interrelated, moving parts. To understand the system, one must understand those parts, which is where the transdisciplinary aspect comes in. The different parts that constitute a system might have been broken out in our study as many different
Force Field Analysis The school’s State Report Card has provided significant insights regarding student achievement in my school. Following an analysis of data presented in the school’s State Report Card, reading is an area of instructional need in my classroom.

Although many individuals face such instances with their wits alone, relying on his or her "gut feelings" to assist them in their quandary, many find that such an unscientific approach can lead them to the wrong action. Indeed, when one lacks
