The 'N step recipes for change'? Sounds more like '10 steps to a migraine' if you ask me.

This Phase model sounds like a recipe for disaster, not change. Where's the 'add a pinch of common sense' step?

A is the key issue. There is no 'one size fits all' approach to change management. Each situation is unique and requires a tailored solution. This model ignores that reality.

E is an important criticism. Change should be scrutinized, not just implemented blindly. We need to consider the underlying motives and power dynamics at play.

B is spot on. This model is way too complex and confusing. Who has time to follow a 'N step recipe' when you're trying to manage change? Give me something more practical and streamlined.

The Phase model of change is too rigid and simplistic. Real-world change is messy and unpredictable. I agree with C - it doesn't capture the true nature of the process.
