Havelock's (1973) Six-Step Change Model provides specific steps that can be taken in order to effectively manage change in an organization or educational setting. The six steps are: 1) build relationships, 2) diagnose problem (Lippitt's phases of change also has this same element as part of the seven phases), 3) acquire resources, 4) choose solution, 5) gain acceptance, and 6) stabilize and self-renew.
