Define the desired outcome of the change - What is the desired situation that would be worth working toward? Be as specific as possible. . Using the Force Field Analysis diagram given below, Force Field Analysis Diagram Desired outcome of the change: Score Driving Forces Restraining Forces Score Total score of driving forces Total score of restraining forces Step 2. Determine the driving forces (positive forces for change) and restraining forces (obstacles to changes). . . Driving forces - What are the factors or pressures that support change in the desired direction? Restraining forces - What are the factors or pressures that resist the proposed change and maintain the status quo? Think about these as broadly as possible. These may include feelings, social pressures, physical resources, financial factors, personality factors, etc
