Change Readiness Formula

C = (abd) > X

  • C = Change
  • a = compelling, vivid, vision of desired future state
  • b = Dissatisfaction with status quo (pain message)
  • d = Practical first steps, strategies or action plans that can close the gap
  • X = Perceived costs of change (personal / organizational)

Source: This change formula was devised by Gleicher and cited in Beckhard, R. and Harris, R.T. (1977).  Organizational Transitions: Managing Complex Change.   Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley Publishing Company.


The same formula is sited differently in Bunker & Alban, Large Group Intervention:, page 71

C = D x V x F > R

  • C = Change
  • D = Dissatisfaction with the current organizational system
  • V = clear vision of the organizational goals for the future
  • F = Practical First Steps
  • R = Resistance to change that is present in the organization
