What is lewin's contribution to change theory?Show answer

What is unfreeze?Show answer
Internal communications and investor-day presentations articulated the legacy fixed-line decline, the 5G opportunity, the need for cost discipline and the strategic case for the InfraCo separation. The communication built the case for the change before it was announced in detail.
What is change?Show answer
Workforce restructure (approximately 2,800 redundancies announced in 2024), product simplification (consolidating consumer mobile plans), the InfraCo separation, and platform migration were rolled out on a phased schedule. Affected employees received redundancy packages and outplacement support; remaining staff received training in the new operating model.
