Force Field Analysis : Steps • Write or draw the problem that on a sheet of paper
• Keep the sheet of paper in front of the participants ask
them to visualize the problem, situation in a state of
temporary equilibrium by two sets of opposing forces
• Copy the diagram on to a piece of paper
• Spread the cards with restraining forces below the
line and those with driving forces above the line
• Next, ask the participants to assign
• Check with the participants whether they are satisfied
• Ask the participants to write down or depict the
forces identified on small cards in bold letters
• Ask them and see any changes
• Thank the participants NIRDPR 51
