Lippitt-Knoster Complex Change Management

Abstract

The purpose of this wiki article is to give an overview of the Lippitt-Knoster tool for complex change management, and how this can be used in practice. This includes a walk-through of the model and the different aspects included and considered in the model. Then the article will include a framework for how this tool can be used in practice, not only as an identifier of missing input in a change process, but also how it can be used to improve further change initiatives and enhance governance in future change processes. Then the article will also include aspects of limitations, both in term of usability, but also a consideration of which change initiatives it is applicable to and which it is not. The limitations will also consider the specific change initiatives and the scope of the change it can be used for, which organizational setup which can prove both complimentary to the framework but also conflicting and lastly which challenges specific industries, and there to market sizes, constitute to the model .
