What the worked example shows
Artiron Motors can use Lewin’s three-stage model of change to structure its transition towards carbon net zero. The model describes change through unfreezing, changing and refreezing (Lewin, 1947). Although modern organisations often experience continuous rather than one-off change, the model provides a useful framework for CIPD Level 5 5CO01 – Independent educational worked examples Page 5 understanding how leaders can prepare people, implement new practices and stabilise desired behaviours. During unfreezing, Artiron Motors should establish a compelling case for change. The 2036 carbon net-zero target needs to be translated into understandable implications for manufacturing, products, supply chains and employees.
This is a deliberately shortened extraction of the themes demonstrated in the paid worked-example resource. It is not the complete answer.
Key areas to develop in your own answer
- Identify the main concept, framework, model, practice or issue contained in the task.
- Use the case-study facts rather than writing only generic HR theory.
- Connect the relevant people-practice issue to organisational impact, employee outcomes or business objectives where the task requires it.
- For higher-order command verbs, weigh evidence, limitations, alternatives or implications rather than simply describing points.
- Support substantive claims with appropriate academic or professional evidence and use the referencing approach required by your centre.
Study direction
Read the shortened guidance first, then use the complete worked example to study how the ideas are developed into a structured response. The worked example is a study resource: adapt the reasoning, conduct your own research and write your own assessment response.
Command verb: Pay particular attention to the first word of the task — explain, analyse, assess, evaluate, compare, discuss or another verb — because it determines the depth of reasoning expected.
