## Description

In his first complete text on the ADKAR model, Jeff Hiatt explains the origin of the model and explores what drives each building block of ADKAR. Learn how to build awareness, create desire, develop knowledge, foster ability and reinforce changes in your organization. The ADKAR Model is changing how we think about managing the people side of change, and provides a powerful foundation to help you succeed at change.After more than 14 years of research with corporate change, the ADKAR model has emerged as a holistic approach that brings together the collection of change management work into a simple, results oriented model. This model ties together all aspects of change management including readiness assessments, sponsorship, communications, coaching, training and resistance management. All of these activities are placed into a framework that is oriented on the required phases for realizing change with individuals and the organization.The ADKAR perspective can help you develop a “new lens” through which to observe and influence change. You may be working for change in your public school system or in a small city council. You may be sponsoring change in your department at work. You may be observing large changes that are being attempted at the highest levels of government or you may be leading an enterprise-wide change initiative. The perspective enabled by the ADKAR model allows you to view change in a new way. You can begin to see the barrier points and understand the levers that can move your changes forward. ADKAR allows you to understand why some changes succeed while others fail. Most importantly, ADKAR can help your changes be a success. Based on research with more than 900 companies from 59 countries, ADKAR is a simple and holistic way to manage change.

Review: Managing the People Side of Change - ADKAR is an acronym for Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, and Reinforcement. ADKAR is Jeff's force field model for leading people through a change project. According to the author, it is about managing the people side of change, not project management, software revision change or another definition of change management. Using the ADKAR model can help you help employees navigate from the old way of working to a new way of doing their job in the shortest, most efficient way. Less resistance, more engagement. And we all know that engaged people are more productive. The author, Jeffrey Hyatt, is the president of Prosci Research and founder of the Change Management Learning Center. He has completed seven worldwide benchmark studies over the last thirteen years, and has developed a training program that reaches across the globe. He is also one of the founders of the newly formed ACMP (Association of Change Management Professionals). This, in my opinion, makes him an expert on the subject. Given the amount of research he has done, ADKAR is certainly worth reading and testing out. At the very least, you will have a greater understanding of what people go through during change. ADKAR is also a great starting point for understanding why projects go south. The book has a lot of what to do, how to do it, and who is responsible for doing it. You will learn about identifying barrier points at each of the five phases and what to do about it. If you read Jeff's book, absorb the learning, and follow his suggestions, its likely see improved results on your next project. Considering 70-85% of all change projects fail, any tool that helps you analyze and correct is worth a try. I am already applying lessons learned on existing projects and it has been quite helpful. The book is small, easy to read, and offers many tips on how to get a change project on track, what you can do to diagnose a sick project, and how to get the project moving again. Overall, I found it to be a great book on change management. Jeff's writing style is simple, clear, and concise. This is the first book I have read by the author, but I recently purchased his other two since reading this one and I will review them soon.
Review: Will Work Great In Churches - Every church is changing. This might be a truth that is denied, but the reality exists. This book helps with the process of change. Over the years, I have read countless books on change and the process of change from business perspectives to church materials, and most times, the material is good and too complex. There is too much to think about which causes confusion. This book is different. It is a simple path forward for a church or any organization. It is a quick read, that is packed full of relevant and helpful material. The process is easy to follow, as each letter stands for a word. It is Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, and Reinforcement. In reading the book, I saw numerous places in which the church struggles in following through on change. This is a good book for churches because of the simplicity of the material and model. Well worth a leader's time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thought provoking
*by R***N on January 6, 2007*

Good book makes a lot of sense and will make you think differently about project/change management. I find myself looking at projects that are not moving and/or moving very slowly and trying to find which "letter" is causing the project to stall. ADKAR stands for Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability and Reinforcement. The author does a very good job explaining each of the ADKAR elements, what they are, how they affect a project and gives suggestions to improve each one. Only real question I had is how to apply it consistently. My guess is you learn how to implement it by taking his week long class on change management.
