What is Two-Loop Change Theory Model

Real-World Solutions for Diversity, Strategic Change, and Organizational Development: Perspectives in Healthcare, Education, Business, and Technology
Two-Loop Change Theory is a model developed by Otto Scharmer and Katrin Kaufer that explains the process of personal and organizational change. The model is based on the idea that there are two loops of change that operate simultaneously: the first loop focuses on improving current systems and practices, while the second loop focuses on creating new possibilities and paradigms.

Abstract
By 2025, up to 85 million jobs globally could be displaced due to automation and new technologies. The traditional approach of relying solely on human resources to address unemployment is no longer effective. A concern is the narrow-minded focus aligning internal organizational objectives with human resource practices. As technology rapidly advances, industries must adapt to new tools and approaches, including automation, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity. Human factors must be understood and incorporated. These changes are creating new job opportunities while also replacing some jobs. This text highlights the urgent need to provide support, education, and retraining programs for the discouraged workforce, who are at a higher risk of displacement due to lack of skills and education. Failure to address this issue could have a detrimental effect on the economy and burden social welfare programs. This text emphasizes the importance of research at the intersection of discouraged workers, technology, and change.
