Conducting a Change Impact Assessment will identify blockers to change, highlight considerations which need to be factored into plans and timelines to ensure a successful delivery and adoption of the change by the wider organisation.
Our Change Impact Assessment will help clients to make informed decisions about their change programmes in the early stages of planning; allowing for a better delivery and protect business case realisation.
For clients who may have commenced their change programmes, our Change Impact Assessment will identify the change management measures which need to be in place to aid successful adoption and adaption of the change into the wider organisation.

Our approach to completing a change impact assessment depends on the type and scale of change, and is always tailored to your needs.
At a broad level, the approach includes:
Understand the environment the change is taking place it including its history, business priorities and culture
Map the as-is culture of the organisation to gain a view of behaviours, enablers, blockers and desired outcomes
Depending on the type and scale of change, understand the current ways of working, processes, risks, capabilities and capacities
Understand the rational and reason for the change, the vision for the new world, the future people, process and technology view
Looking from the as-is to the to-be, apply a change management lens to the change, identifying opportunities, threats, strengths and weaknesses within the organisation which could hinder or enable change.
Based on the findings of the analysis, provide an informed view of the change impacts, and recommendations for managing them.
Timelines will depend on the scale of the change and can range from 1 day to 4 weeks.
