which model is roger advocating?

• lewins change model
• cas change model
• 5-d change model
• kotters change model

Explanation:

Analyze the scenario details

Using the Lewins Change Model and Organizational Change Models knowledge points

• The scenario describes an organization where change has been "frozen for years," but things are now changing.
• Roger is advocating for "taking action, making changes, and involving people in the change process."
• This sequence directly aligns with Kurt Lewin's three-stage model of change: Unfreezing (breaking down the frozen state), Changing/Moving (taking action and making changes), and Refreezing (stabilizing the new state).

Evaluate the options

Using the Organizational Change Models knowledge point

• Lewin's change model: Focuses on Unfreeze, Change, and Refreeze. The mention of the organization being "frozen" and now "changing" is a direct reference to these stages.
• CAS change model: Refers to Complex Adaptive Systems, which views organizations as dynamic, self-organizing networks rather than a linear frozen-to-changed state.
• 5-D change model: Part of Appreciative Inquiry (Define, Discover, Dream, Design, Destiny), which focuses on positive strengths rather than unfreezing a frozen state.
• Kotter's change model: An 8-step process focused on creating urgency, building coalitions, and strategic steps, rather than the explicit frozen/unfrozen metaphor.

Answer:

• Lewin’s change model (Correct answer)
• CAS change model
• 5-D change model
• Kotter’s change model
