Change Management Impact Checklist
Assess organisational impact and readiness for major technology changes.
20 items0%
Critical items (marked ★) carry 4–5× weight. Weighted score reflects change readiness, not just planning activity completion.
Stakeholder Analysis
Identify who is affected, how, and what they need to adopt the change.
0/5
Map all impacted stakeholder groups and assess the degree of change each will experience (process, tools, roles).★ Critical
Identify change champions and resistors within each stakeholder group.
Assess organisational readiness and change fatigue from concurrent initiatives.★ Critical
Secure visible and active sponsorship from senior leaders who will advocate for the change.
Conduct a risk assessment of what happens if key stakeholder groups do not adopt the change.
Communication Planning
Design communication that builds understanding, urgency, and support.
0/5
Develop a communication plan with tailored messages for each stakeholder group (executives, managers, end users).★ Critical
Articulate a compelling case for change that answers 'why now' and 'what happens if we do not change'.
Establish two-way communication channels so impacted groups can ask questions and raise concerns.
Plan communication cadence: pre-launch awareness, go-live support, and post-launch reinforcement.
Equip managers with talking points and FAQs so they can cascade messages consistently.
Training & Enablement
Ensure people have the skills and confidence to work in the new way.
0/5
Conduct a skills gap analysis comparing current capabilities to what the change requires.★ Critical
Design role-based training programmes — not generic overviews — with hands-on practice.
Provide just-in-time support resources (job aids, help desks, super users) during and after go-live.
Schedule training close to go-live to maximise retention and relevance.
Measure training effectiveness through assessments, not just attendance.
Measurement & Reinforcement
Track adoption, address resistance, and sustain the change.
0/5
Define adoption metrics (usage rates, process compliance, error rates) and track them from day one.★ Critical
Implement a resistance management plan to address concerns proactively, not punitively.
Conduct post-implementation reviews at 30, 60, and 90 days to assess adoption and identify gaps.
Recognise and reward early adopters to reinforce desired behaviours.
Transition from project-mode change management to business-as-usual ownership and continuous improvement.
