CALMprojects the likely impacts on the target organization of changes in the environment induced by:
     forces 
     events 
     and the proposed change management  strategy.

CALM predicts the likely impact of the above, combining:
      simulation techniques
      complex adaptive systems (agents)
      event modeling
      system dynamics
      Monte Carlo methods

Each environmental force specifies its assumed causal impact.
      e.g. how a change in magnitude of bold new leadership, and increased competition
      will affect organizational performance.

Each change initiative also specifies an assumed impact
      e.g.  communicating vision, empowering employees to carry out change tasks
      will also affect performance.

CALM Transformation uses a process-based model.

This model has eight phases:
    initiate change (define business case)
    build a coalition of change agents
    formulate vision
    communicate and educate
    empower others to act
    create short-term wins
    consolidate and further change
    institutionalize change

Each of the above has finer-grained tasks, which have their own projected schedules and estimated costs.
