Unfreezing, changing and refreezing are the three stages of change (Newstrom, 2015). In case of the unfreezing stage, there has to be the implementation of a newly considered/thought-out idea by ensuring that there is complete ignorance or doing away with an existing idea of the past. Learning can become extremely difficult at this stage for professional individuals because something has to be done in a completely innovative manner. The beginning has to be like a preparation for future operational success. The stage of changing includes working professionals trying to ensure that there is learning taking place for the new idea to be implemented perfectly. There can be the use of new forms of advanced technology during this stage (Newstrom, 2015).
