Overview
The change model for this lesson is anchored in the idea that organizations must go through periods of growth (evolution) as well as periods of crisis (revolution) in order to advance. This progression involves a deliberate and strategic management of change based on an awareness of placement on the growth chart. The organization’s ability to respond proactively to the evolutionary and revolutionary phases dictates the pace and quality in which organizations manage change. Greiner’s idea stresses the fact that it is not only critical, but imperative, that management understand where they are in the evolution/revolution phase in order to effectively manage change.

- Same question for the next phase of Crisis. Was there something specific about the changes in the contemporary environment that led you to your response regarding the next Crisis Phase?
