- The change balance formula is a simple and effective management tool jointly proposed by Richard Beckhard and Reuben T Harris based on the research of David Gleicher in 1987, to quickly obtain an intuitive impression of the possibility and conditions of organizational change.
- Change model formula-milestones in organizational development:
- From a historical perspective, the change balance formula can be regarded as a milestone in the field of organizational development research. Organizations respond to the needs of managers and evolve over time. At present, the organizational development that managers want not only focuses on the realization of organizational goals, but also expects the active participation of employees.

- The balance formula for the transformation model is:
- D x V x F> R
- Dissatisfaction x Vision x First Steps> Resistance to Change (Dissatisfaction x Vision x First Steps> Resistance to Change)
- D = dissatisfaction
- V = vision
- F = First steps
- R = Resistance to change
- The balance-of-change formula can help us grasp the three elements necessary to overcome resistance to change:
- Dissatisfaction with the current situation;
- Expectations for the organization's future vision;
- Efforts towards the vision were initially realized.
- If one of the above three elements is zero or close to zero, the sum of the three will also be zero or close to zero. At this time, the resistance to change will prevail.
