Change Curve (Kübler-Ross Change Management Framework)

Change Curve (Kübler-Ross Change Management Framework) (Elizabeth Kübler-Ross, 1990s) – an adaptation of Kübler-Ross’s widely known “Five Stages of Grief,” applied to anticipate, interpret, and address participant responses to organizational change. There are multiple versions of the Change Curve, but their stages tend to reflect Kübler-Ross’s original Denial (refusal to believe), Anger (resentment at being forced), Bargaining (pushing for compromise), Depression (feeling hopeless and helpless), and Acceptance (realizing there are no other options).
