ADKAR Model

The ADKAR Model was developed by Prosci Research as a framework to understand where individuals are on the change journey. When viewed in aggregate, it provides insights into the actions required to move the change programme forward.

ADKAR is an acronym for Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability and Reinforcement. To transition to new ways of working requires individuals to undergo change by going through an ADKAR sequence. To get commitment it is necessary to go through each stage. This framework provides insights on corrective strategies to overcome blockages to change and pinpoint the action required.
