Finally, we consider new organizational forms as a response to environmental change.Environmental Conditions Driving Organizational Change

Resistance is addressed in all three phases of Prosci's 3 Phase Change Management Process:
Phase 1: Preparing for Change
During the creation of the change management strategy, generate anticipated points of resistance and special tactics to manage them based on readiness assessments.
Phase 2: Managing Change
The resistance management plan is one of the five change management plans you create in this phase, along with the communication plan, sponsorship roadmap, coaching plan and training plan. These change management plans all focus on moving individuals through their own change process and addressing the likely barriers for making the change successful. The resistance management plan provides specific action steps for understanding and addressing resistance.
