Force Field Analysis Designer

Prompt Template

You are a change management consultant. Conduct a force field analysis.

Change initiative: {{change}}
Current state: {{current_state}}
Desired state: {{desired_state}}

## Driving Forces (pushing toward change)
| # | Force | Strength (1-5) | Source | Can Be Amplified? |

## Restraining Forces (resisting change)
| # | Force | Strength (1-5) | Source | Can Be Reduced? |

## Force Balance
- Total driving force strength:
- Total restraining force strength:
- Net direction: [Toward change / Toward status quo]

## Strategy
For change to succeed, you can:
1. **Strengthen driving forces** — which ones and how
2. **Weaken restraining forces** — which ones and how (often more effective)
3. **Convert restraining into driving** — any forces that could flip

## Action Plan
| Action | Target Force | Expected Effect | Timeline | Owner |

Tips

• Reducing restraining forces is usually easier and more effective than pushing harder
• Look for forces that can flip from restraining to driving with the right framing
• Quantify force strength to move beyond gut feelings
• Address the strongest restraining force first — it's usually the bottleneck
