Is your change initiative actually working?

Most change efforts fall short — not because the strategy is wrong, but because leaders don't know where they stand until it's too late. The Change Effort Assessment Tool gives you a structured way to measure your initiative's health, spot risks early, and course-correct before momentum stalls.

What you'll get

A practical, self-guided assessment you can run on your own or with your team. Inside the tool:

• A scorecard across the key dimensions of change — readiness, engagement, and impact
• Diagnostic prompts that surface where your initiative is strong and where it's quietly at risk
• Space to capture findings and track progress over time
• A shareable summary format you can take straight to sponsors and stakeholders

Why change leaders use it

• See the full picture. Move past gut feel with a clear view of how your change effort is actually landing.
• Find the weak spots early. Surface risks while there's still time to address them.
• Make better calls. Ground your next decisions in evidence, not assumptions.
• Align your team. Give everyone a shared language and a common reference point.
• Increase your odds. Regular assessment is one of the strongest predictors of change success.
