Wait, is this a trick question? I thought force field analysis was about drawing diagrams with arrows and stuff. This just sounds like a good old-fashioned pros and cons list.

Definitely force field analysis. Q is taking a structured approach to understand the change dynamics. Hopefully, the staff won't stage a revolt against the new tech!

I'm not sure if this is really force field analysis. Isn't that more about weighing the pros and cons? This seems more like stakeholder analysis to me.
