I feel like 'elapsed time' is more about the process rather than a factor in the change formula itself.

I’m a bit confused; I thought the quality of leadership was crucial for change, but I can't recall if it’s part of the formula.

I remember practicing a question about the change formula, and I feel like 'expected return on investment' was mentioned as important too.

I think the 'level of dissatisfaction with the status quo' is definitely one of the factors, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the main one.

I'm not totally confident, but I think the answer is B - expected return on investment and benefits. The change formula is all about assessing the drivers and barriers to change, and the potential payoff is an important factor, right?

Okay, I remember learning about this in class. I believe the key factors in the Beckhard and Harris change formula are the level of dissatisfaction, the vision for the future, and the first concrete steps. So I'm going to go with A for this one.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I know the change formula has something to do with factors that influence change, but I can't quite remember the specific factors. I'll have to think this through carefully.
