The Room of Confusion
Written by Administrator   
People who are in this room could be heard saying the following:
  • Where are we going?
  • What is the plan?
  • What are we supposed to do?
  • What can we do differently?
  • What have we tried before?
  • Who else has done this?
This room contains many questions and few answers. People are searching for a way forward and yet are unclear of what is needed.

People in this room can experience a host of emotions: frustration, confusion, conflict, self doubt, despair even. This is the room of very high energy and high emotion. It can be very uncomfortable.

When it becomes uncomfortable, some people may slip back to denial and say it's too hard and that someone else should fix it.

People generally want to get out of this room as fast as possible because of its high levels of discomfort and confusion. However, the longer a person, department or organisation stays in the room the more sustainable, rewarding and powerful will be the Renewal.

So the challenge for people in this room is to say there and live with the uncertainty and ambiguity - not an easy thing to do!

This room is the engine room of change. This is where visions, strategies, plans etc being to emerge out of the confusion.

Moving to the Renewal Room is conditional on clear plans being eventually developed in the Confusion Room. People and organisations need to be careful they do not settle for quick fixes as they move to Renewal or they will return to Confusion.

Change is on the move now and takes real shape in the next room.

Moving People from Confusion to Renewal

Moving to renewal involves:
  • Developing a clear vision, goals, plans etc
  • Each person seeking clarification on their role, contribution and expectations
  • Deciding which best options from all the experimenting and questioning occurring in Confusion to implement
  • Starting to implement
