Applications of ADKAR Research Reports

Although the original intent of the ADKAR Model was to articulate individual change milestones, change practitioners have found creative ways to leverage it to drive change in their organizations.

Prosci endeavored to understand these uses, their effectiveness and best practices through the Applications of ADKAR research study. Over 400 change professionals responded, providing seven common ways to use the ADKAR Model to drive change in organizations:

• Creating a structured change management approach
• Facilitating individual change
• Developing a measurement framework
• Speaking a common language for change
• Integrating change management with project management
• Empowering managers
• Engaging senior leaders
