ProsciADKAR

ProsciADKAR is a change management methodology developed by Prosci, a leading organization development consultancy. The acronym ADKAR stands for Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, and Reinforcement. This model is designed to help individuals and organizations successfully navigate and implement change. The ProsciADKAR methodology is based on the premise that for change to be effective, it must be embraced by those who will be affected by it.

Awareness is the first step in the ADKAR model. This involves making individuals aware of the need for change and the reasons behind it. Desire follows, where individuals must want to make the change happen. Knowledge is then acquired, as individuals learn about the change and how it will impact them. Ability refers to the skills and resources needed to implement the change. Finally, Reinforcement ensures that the change is sustained over time.

ProsciADKAR is often used in conjunction with Prosci's ADKAR Change Management Framework, which provides a structured approach to implementing change. This framework includes tools and techniques for assessing the current state, planning the change, and measuring the impact of the change.

The ProsciADKAR methodology has been widely adopted by organizations around the world, and is often used in conjunction with other change management models and methodologies. It is particularly useful in situations where change is complex, uncertain, or involves significant resistance. By following the ADKAR model, organizations can increase the likelihood of successful change and improve overall performance.
