The Lini Change Evolution Model
How Iterative Change Drives Real Innovation
In today's fast-moving business world, "change" is ever-present in our daily lives. It can feel disruptive, and leaves everyone involved feeling fatigued. When making change, many have utilized the tried and true Kurt Lewin's 3-step model - which involves unfreezing, changing, and refreezing. However, change happens so fast these days that this method is proving unwieldy.
Change and Organizational Maturity Model Designed by Lini LLC
At Lini, we see change differently. We believe true, sustainable transformation isn't a single leap; it's a continuous, intelligent cycle. Our Change Evolution Model as a key framework when working with our clients when talking about change and process improvement.
At first glance, the model looks like a similar three-step process:
Evaluate: Define the problem(s) clearly
Generate: Identify opportunities & potential solutions
Activate: Implement the best-fit solution
But here's the key: the "Activate" phase isn't the end. It's the beginning of the next loop. This is the iterative part. Throughout the process, new data and fresh insights are feeding directly back into the next phase, as well as once you hit the “activate” phase that information will be fed into the next round of change. Instead of making ONE BIG CHANGE! Making smaller iterative pushes (similar to agile sprints) that are more manageable will help in the end make the larger change possible.
This is where Lini's philosophy turns iteration into impactful innovation.
As the visual shows, this isn't a flat circle. It's an upward spiral. With each cycle, the organization learns, adapts, and grows. The arrow labeled "Organizational Maturity" points up for a reason—every loop builds on the last, making the business smarter, more resilient, and more effective.
We don't just repeat the process; we connect the dots through it.
Lini promises to partner with you to make this change happen. We don't just manage change; we build an engine within your organization with your existing resources for continuous evolution. We help organizations embrace this iterative Lini Loop to drive constant, sustainable innovation.
