Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the winds of change are blowing through your company today
People fear what's coming next, they want the old familiar way
But we've got frameworks to guide us, help us navigate the storm
Kotter's eight steps lead the way, help transformation take its form

[Chorus]
Change is coming, don't you fear it
Use ADKAR to help you steer it
Awareness, Desire, Knowledge too
Ability and Reinforcement through
Kotter's vision, Lewin's freeze
Unfreeze, change, then freeze with ease
Support the change, make it last
Learn from future, build from past

[Verse 2]
Lewin taught us how to see change in three simple parts
Unfreeze the old ways first, then change can truly start
Move to new behaviors, then refreeze to make it stick
But resistance will emerge, so we need strategies quick

[Chorus]
Change is coming, don't you fear it
Use ADKAR to help you steer it
Awareness, Desire, Knowledge too
Ability and Reinforcement through
Kotter's vision, Lewin's freeze
Unfreeze, change, then freeze with ease
Support the change, make it last
Learn from future, build from past

[Verse 3]
Assess if they're ready, check organizational health
Look at culture, resources, and their capacity for wealth
Of new ideas and processes, their willingness to grow
Train and communicate clearly, let everyone know

[Bridge]
When they push back, when they resist
Don't give up, they can't dismiss
Listen to their fears and concerns
Help them see what everyone learns
From transition management done right
Communication burning bright

[Verse 4]
Plan your training sessions well, make sure the message's clear
Address their questions honestly, help them conquer fear
Sustain the change with reinforcement, celebrate success
Monitor and measure progress, clean up any mess

[Chorus]
Change is coming, don't you fear it
Use ADKAR to help you steer it
Awareness, Desire, Knowledge too
Ability and Reinforcement through
Kotter's vision, Lewin's freeze
Unfreeze, change, then freeze with ease
Support the change, make it last
Learn from future, build from past

[Outro]
Organizational change is here
Framework knowledge makes it clear
ADKAR, Kotter, Lewin's way
Support the change starting today
