Lack of better designed plan of action at this stage can lead to failure. Change process must follow the previous steps to become routine and accepted in to the everyday work to reach the final step of refreezing the ne change. There are many strategies to adopt the new change including new rules and regulations, attitudes, and reward system to reinforce the new change. Furthermore, change management without people is not possible. Human being stand at its heart and also they are the greatest barrier to change. (Lussier & Achua, 2013, pp.
