How can force field analysis be used to manage the environmental impact of creating a new product?

Force field analysis can be used to manage the environmental impact of creating a new product by assessing and comparing the driving and restraining forces. The driving forces could be the demand for the new product and the potential for increased production speed. The restraining forces could be the potential environmental impact of creating the new product. By analyzing these forces, decisions can be made to mitigate the environmental impact, such as implementing more environmentally friendly production methods or choosing sustainable materials for the product.

Question was asked on:

A force field analysis assesses factors that influence a situation. When used in the context of change management, it compares the driving forces that encourage change against the restraining forces that hold it back. For instance, your customers' demand for new products and an increased production speed could encourage change. However, the loss of staff over time (as a result of more efficient production) and the environmental impact to create a new product could hold you back. But when you tally up the scores at the top, you find the benefits still outweigh the barriers in this scenario. Ultimately, you decide it's worthwhile to upgrade the facility equipment and make new products.(Slide 16)
