Context of Change Model

Hi Team,

I was attempting a practice paper last night and came across this question:

Prepare briefing notes for the board which advise how employee dissatisfaction may impact upon each stage of the organisational change process.

My immediate thought was to apply the Context of Change Model.

However, I struggled to apply it to the employee dissatisfaction highlighted in the scenario.

So I checked the markscheme and it mentioned Lewin’s model. I am fully aware hyper focusing on models is not the focus of this exam and as long as the answer is logical it doesnt really matter. However, I genuinely wouldnt have had a clue on how to answer this question using the Context of Change model.

(june 2022 q2a)

Would you be able to give me some top tips please?

I know its a lot to ask but possibly an example answer for one element of the model, lets say scope? Just so I can proceed as I am unfortunately struggling.

If I had to try I would answer like this (as you can see im not sure what points I should be hitting here):

Scope & Timing:
The location change is a significant change as it moves from two sites in the town of Hambledon to one large site on the Coast of Lympool. Employees generally accept this change, however have expressed concerns in regard to flooding issues. The change is anticipated to take place in a few months which would be a reasonable timeframe, given employees have accepted the suggest proposal albeit several concerns.

Thanks so much in advance and sorry for a lengthy question, I hope you will consider my question.
