An Equation for Change

This is cool – stumbled on to Phil Gerbyshak’s Website - and then followed a link for 3 principles of Change.

Very cool stuff that I had not seen or thought of before.

The equation comes in different forms and fashions.

Dick Richards lists it like this

D x V x C x F > R.

The equation shows that change can only occur when the product of distress, D, vision, V, capacity for change, C, and achievable first steps, F, is greater than resistance to change, R. Notice that if any of the four variables on the left of the equation is zero, change is not possible.

Wikipedia has another formula – a bit simpler for Change

D x V x F > R

Distress
Vision
Capacity for Change
First Steps
Have to be greater than
Resistance to Change.

Cool Stuff to think about.
