ANU Change Management Framework 2011
FORCE FIELD ANALYSIS TEMPLATE
This exercise works well as a group decision making tool. Consider the factors FOR and the
factors AGAINST the proposed change and list them. Then rank each with a score of 1 to 5
indicating the strength with which it will support or restrict / limit the proposal (1= very little
effect and 5= very strong effect).
If the score FOR the initiative is greater than that AGAINST then the change is worth
pursuing. If the reverse is true then the initiative may need to be adjusted / re worked or a
plan could be developed to counter the factors against before the initiative commences.
If the scores are even then you should continue working through the exercise and making
modifications to the change proposal if necessary until a decision is reached.
