Change Diagnostics

Our Scoping Discussion, Agile Change Diagnostic and Change Framework allow us to quickly understand your transformation. We have developed these practical tools after many years of experience in Change Management. We can apply them with you to design the right support to deliver your objectives.

Introducing our Agile Change Diagnostic

Be it generating excitement, building engagement, changing mindset, promoting a call to action or embedding changes; people make the difference. 

Change adoption begins right at the start of a project. But useful tools like Business Readiness Assessments often come after the main work of the project is well established, making it difficult to course correct or identify potential pitfalls before they happen.

That’s why we developed our Agile Change Diagnostic (AC Diagnostic).

The AC Diagnostic is structured yet easy to use, comprehensive yet pragmatic. Designed for Change and Project managers, it can be applied to both Agile or Waterfall Projects right from the start to help assure successful adoption and delivery of planned business benefits. 

How does the Agile Change Diagnostic (AC Diagnostic) help?

  • Use the diagnostic for consensus building and to check alignment between different project team members and stakeholders.
  • Identify areas of strength, weakness and also understand variance in perception.
  • Determines the change management needs and gives an indication of where to focus and take action.
  • Display results in graphical or tabular format which allows stakeholders to face into the things they may intuitively know.
  • Use the structure of the diagnostic to help frame open and potentially difficult conversations.
