		<description><![CDATA[By: Ray Myers, Jr., PMP Force Field Analysis provides a useful framework to look at the driving and resisting forces of a decision or proposed change.  To implement a change, it is helpful to understand these forces. Decisions are framed in terms of forces and factors.  Forces that help achieve the desired change are called driving forces.  Forces that work against the desired change are called restraining forces.  Factors can be anything that exerts pressure on the force field such as, budgets, people, regulations, needs, desires, and so on. The opposing forces are charted according to how they impact the change with the objective of enhancing the driving forces and reducing the impacts of restraining forces.  Analysis of these forces and factors may provide insights into those conditions that must be addressed or monitored if the change is to be successful. Procedure Step 1 Setup the Force Field Framework Working in a group, describe and document the decision or proposed change.  Draw and label the framework on a sheet of paper or flipchart Step 2 Identify the Driving Forces Create a list of the forces that drive the planned change or decision.  Consider factors such as time savings, cost savings, [...]]]></description>
