c= D x M x P > R
D = Dissatisfaction with status quo
M = Model; leaders vision of the future
P = Process; developing and implementing plan; change strategy
R = Resistance; people resisting the change
C = Amount of change
•The D x M x P is a multiplicative function. A value of 0 in one category will result in no change.
