Forcefield Analysis

A forcefield analysis is an organisational tool that helps teams explore and display forces that will influence a proposed change, and helps to identify positive effects that could be amplified and obstacles that need to be overcome. It graphically displays the forces impacting the change, helping teams to identify what they need to consider in order for the proposed change to succeed.

To conduct a forcefield analysis, you typically follow these steps:

  • Define the change you want to implement.
  • Identify the driving forces that support the change.
  • Identify the restraining forces that oppose the change.
  • Evaluate the strength of each force - total up the driving and restraining forces to se overall impact of forces on our project.
