What's in this Change Curve template
A visual template of the four-stage Change Curve with the emotional characteristics of each stage mapped out. Includes guidance on recognising where people are in the curve and practical approaches for supporting them at each point - from communication strategies in the early stages to empowerment approaches as people begin to explore.
Tips for using it
Use it alongside your change plan, not instead of one - the Change Curve maps the emotional journey, not the implementation steps. Pay attention to the gap between where your project timeline thinks people are and where they actually are emotionally. And remember, people don't move through the stages in a neat line - expect some back and forth.
