Change Readiness Assessment for Leaders

How ready are you for organizational change? Do you have the skills you need to confidently lead change? Does your team have the resources, capacity, and training to implement it? Is there a communication and sustainment strategy in place? 

These are the types of questions that every change leader should ask themselves before jumping feet first into another organizational change initiative. For that reason and to help you do so, we created the following change readiness assessment. 

A change readiness assessment gives team leaders, managers, supervisors, and change agents a chance to assess the areas that most significantly affect the success of a change initiative and determine their level of readiness for an impending change.
