Change_Readiness_Effort_Insight

I spoke with a lady yesterday that asked me a valid question that inspired me to write this post. She asked, “What does it cost to do a change readiness assessment?” I responded, “It depends – what insights are you trying to glean?”

There is no one answer. Organizations need to understand the insight they are looking to derive first. There are plenty of vanilla change readiness surveys out there – do they result in any insight to impact change? I think you know the answer…

There is a place for surveys and assessments and know that when you choose that option, the insight you glean will be limited. If your objective is to employ a range of data gathering tactics that involve a deeper level of collaboration, you will help resolve two of the most challenging obstacles in the path of every change: (1) gaining acceptance and (2) realizing successful adoption of the change. Consider the questions below when you’re seeking a change readiness assessment.
