Focus on Decreasing the Restraining Forces
I usually only look at the restraining forces. The driving forces are usually in place and operate independently.
I score both types of force from +/-1 to +/-5 (negative for restraining forces of course) and look at the main -5 and -4's in particular to see what actions can be done to minimise these.

Consider the Change Forces over Time
When deploying Force Field Analysis, a frequent mistake is to regard it and its forces as a picture or a snapshot, typically taken at the beginning of an organizational change effort.
But any major organizational change effort takes considerable time: at least months, often longer.
So you should not only look at the restraining/driving forces at the beginning of your change effort, but OVER THE ENTIRE PERIOD. The forces change! If at anytime during your effort the restraining forces become too powerful and you did not plan for that, your nice change project will probably end there. A big waste of everybody's time and money.
So analyze the forces and plan on how to use and mitigate them over the whole change period, before you start your change initiative and keep doing that while it is underway.
