A Guide to Navigating the Predictable Challenges of an Organization Change Process

The Seven Challenges of Change™ Framework, created by Gisela Wendling, Ph.D., and David Sibbet, shows how patterns of change play out over predictable stages in a complex organizational transformation process. 

This framework is organized around the challenges that are part of first initiating and then actualizing the change. These challenges require various degrees of attention and iteration and may repeat depending on the scale of the change and other circumstances.
