Detailed explanation-1: -The purpose of the final step-refreezing-is to sustain the change you’ve enacted. The goal is for the people involved to consider this new state as the new status-quo, so they no longer resist forces that are trying to implement the change.

Detailed explanation-2: -The stage of Refreezing is the ultimate stage in which people accept or internalize the new ways of working or change, accept it as a part of their life and establish new relationships.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lewin’s change model is a simple and easy-to-understand framework to humanize the change management process. These three distinct stages of change (unfreeze, change, and refreeze) allow you to plan & implement the required change.

Detailed explanation-4: -Instead, to achieve a transformation from one shape to another, it must first be melted (unfreeze), poured into a new mold (change) and then frozen again in the new shape (refreeze). By considering change as a process with three similarly distinct stages, organizations can prepare better for a new status quo.
