Educational Guide

Created by Kurt Lewin, the Force Field Analysis provides a framework for looking at the factors (forces) that influence a situation, originally social situations. It looks at forces that are either driving movement toward a goal (helping forces) or blocking movement toward a goal (hindering forces). It is exceptional for breaking deadlocks and planning strategic change.
