Change Management Plan

Q: How do I know the Change Management Plan output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: "What stays the same" is explicitly addressed; Stakeholder analysis includes resistors, not just supporters; Communication plan uses managers to cascade (not just top-down); Training is timed before go-live (not after).

What to give it

▸The change — what is changing, and what is the current state?

▸Scale — how many people affected, in how many teams/locations?

▸Timeline — when does the change go live? How long is the transition?

▸Sponsor — who is accountable at senior level?

▸Key concern — what is the biggest risk to adoption?

▸What happens if change fails — consequences of low adoption

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓"What stays the same" is explicitly addressed

✓Stakeholder analysis includes resistors, not just supporters

✓Communication plan uses managers to cascade (not just top-down)

✓Training is timed before go-live (not after)

✓Adoption metrics have a measurement date and owner

✓Resistance management has specific responses (not just "communicate more")

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not treat communication as a one-time announcement — people need to hear a message multiple times before they internalise it; plan for repeated touchpoints

Do not assign change management to a single owner without involving line managers — managers are the most effective cascade channel and must be briefed before their teams

Do not schedule training after go-live — people who learn a new system on the day they need to use it will revert to the old process

Do not ignore resistors in the stakeholder analysis — resistors who are not explicitly engaged will undermine adoption, especially informal leaders

Do not measure adoption only at go-live — the real test is sustained adoption at 90 days, when novelty has worn off
