What's in this Burke-Litwin Change Model template
The model's twelve factors as a diagram, from the external environment through to performance.
A one-page summary that groups them - external environment, transformational, transactional and individual factors, and performance - and sets out when to use the model, the steps for finding the few factors most out of step, and the traps to watch for, like a full twelve-factor assessment that never ends.
Tips for using it
Start with the external environment - it sets the context for everything else. Then work through the transformational factors before the transactional ones, because changes at the top cascade downward. The real value is in mapping the connections between factors, not just assessing each one in isolation.
Change Management
Burke-Litwin works best as part of a structured organisational diagnostic. We use it alongside other frameworks to help leadership teams understand what's really driving performance - and where change effort will have the most impact.
