Mary Kay: OK Dave, so tell us about force field analysis?
Dave Powell: Force field analysis is a decision making tool developed by the German-American psychologist Kurt Lewin. The process involves considering and evaluating all of the forces for and against a plan to reach the best decision.
Mary Kay: Where is the tool used Dave?
