WHY TEAMS CHOOSE THIS

Why measure early

Run it when a restructure, a merger, a redundancy program or a new operating model is decided and not yet announced. 

Before launch

Change readiness is how well someone copes with and contributes to change. Read it from behavior, before the change starts. 

  •  A read for every person in scope
  •  Ready before the first workshop
  •  Behavior, not a pulse survey 

Four enablers

Dealing with change, staying connected, enabling new ways of working, maintaining drive. Which one is missing decides the support a person needs. 

  •  Strengths and gaps per person
  •  Language a line manager can use
  •  Actions the person writes themselves 

Group view

Group profiles show where teams are strong, stretched or exposed, so support goes to the teams that will struggle first. 

  •  Compare sites, functions and layers
  •  Around 60% more accurate targeting
  •  Use the same read for the next change 
WHAT'S INCLUDED

What the team running the change gets

One behavioral completion per person, and everything the team needs to act on it. 

A read for each person across the four enablers of change. What they will find easy, what will stretch them, and what helps them hold up, with their own actions written at the end.

HOW IT RUNS

How to measure change readiness

Four steps, usually inside a single quarter. 

FOR THE PERSON

What people get for taking part

 Change is the hardest time to ask people for anything. This gives something back. 

 

Their own report

Everyone who completes the assessment gets a report written for them, not about them, with actions they choose themselves. It is theirs to keep, whatever the change decides.

Insight that keeps working

One completion does not expire with this change. The same data feeds their development, and the next shift the business makes.

How to introduce it

This is a development assessment and can be introduced as one, so the invitation stands on its own before anyone is ready to talk about what is changing.

CLIENT STORY

Managers caught in the middle of a change

Managers who had disengaged during a major organizational change are now running team development themselves, with actions embedded across the leadership group.

Frequently asked questions

The questions teams ask before they commit to running this. 

A change readiness assessment measures how well people are likely to cope with and contribute to change at work, from their behavior rather than their opinion of a change already announced. It produces a read for each person and a group view for the team running it.
