Checklists - 5 FORCE FIELD ANALYSIS
Force field analysis is useful in clarifying a problem, and
finding solutions responsive to specific obstacles preventing goal achievement.
-
Participants are asked to focus on the situation with which the group is
concerned -- a situation they want changed. They describe in specific terms the
attributes of the current state.
-
Participants then imagine what the situation will be like in five years if
nothing is done -- the worst scenario.
-
Participants then think about what the situation would be like if something
were done -- what would the desired state look like?
- The
next step is to identify the forces driving change and those forces restraining
change.
-
Participants use a problem solving process to remove or buffer the restraints.
- They
identify goals based on the forces driving change.
