Assessing Change Impact
• Capture people and organizational impacts arising
from the change being introduced
o Who is impacted?
o How are these individuals/groups
impacted (wins and losses)?
o What is the magnitude of the
impact on each stakeholder
group?
o How are they likely to react to the
change?
10
Assessing Change Readiness
• Assess readiness for change along the following
dimensions:
1. Vision and Leader Alignment
2. Stakeholder Engagement and Communication
3. Organizational and Cultural Alignment
4. Learning and Development
5. Sustainability and Governance
11
Assessing Risk
• Identify potential risks and mitigation strategies
– What are the risks?
– What is the impact of risk occurring?
– What is the probability that this may happen?
– What can we do to limit and/or prevent this risk
from occurring?
– Can the risk be transferred?
– Who is the owner?
