Originally developed by Kubler-Ross, the Change Curve is a model that explains the grieving process. However, it is has been adopted as a means of getting staff through a period of major change, whether it be a restructuring or the result of a merger or acquisition. The Change Curve describes the stages anyone must go through when faced with a change in their lives. From grieving a loved one to changing an IT system, people have to experience the same three stages of personal development in order to move on. These stages describe nine states of emotion :
Stage 1 : Shock, Denial, Numbness
Stage 2 : Fear, Anger, Depression
Stage 3 : Understanding, Acceptance, Moving On
