“Change management models are useful in that they describe and simplify a process so that we can understand and apply the principles. The top models of change management described on this page have proven their value but all focus on very different processes and outcomes.

None of them describe a perfect change process.
Review: 8 Reasons You Should Use A Change Management Model
Think about it. If change always followed an exact pattern, if it was always predictable, there wouldn’t be a need for different models. No matter how well you plan for change you should always expect a surprise. Change rarely follows the exact steps change management models suggest.

Allow yourself some flexibility when following a model rather than following it too rigidly. At a personal and organizational level the models of change we choose are motivated by the way we approach change. There is no right or wrong. The way you go about implementing change will differ depending on the model you use, but there are basic steps that are essential to follow that are common to personal or organisational change…”
