Organizational change management checklist
Change management: why, how, what, when, who
Companies increasingly face competitive pressures related to rapid and continuous adaptation to a complex, dynamic and highly interconnected global environment.
When embarking on a change journey – what questions to ask
Dealing with or managing any type of change is now a common occurrence in most organizations. In recent years, technological growth, the information age, changes in habits, changes in global economy and the business environment have forced organizations to change the way they do business.
Change is now a fact of life in today’s business environments, yet the frequency of change doesn’t make it any easier to carry out successfully.
What questions to ask before embarking on any organizational change
The traditional skills possessed by most manager do not include that of being an effective change leader. In these rapidly changing times, having a “change management” skill or the “know how skill to manage change” is now important for managers.

I’m a big fan of Questions and really like the way you created this Infographic. I’ve saved it to use with coaching clients. Thanks.
I have always been in the PM arena and recently moved into CM. These are great questions and can be used to lay a solid foundation for a successful implementation. Thank you for laying it out!
Thanks Jim
Great questions, have used some of these before but not all of them so will definitely use this list from now on, thanks
Thanks Nicola
Excellent questions Rick! I will be sharing with my community and keeping this handy! Thank you!
Thanks Cynthia
I like this because it places people at the centre of the change and focuses on two way communication at all stages.
Awesome questions!
I have taken a strategy and Special Projects position role for a public Safety Agency and for sure your questions are something that I will use!
I appreciate you for making us smarter!

Torben,
Great piece of work!
The first three questions you pose are the prerequisites for change
1. Why is change necessary?
2. Is there a compelling reason for change?
3. How to build a business case for change?
The answer to all three is to describe what GOOD LOOKS LIKE compared with the current state.
The hard part is providing comparative compelling evidence of ‘what good looks like’.
Great questions! can’t wait to share with my team. Thank you, Torben!
These provide an excellent basis for co-creating an overall roadmap with a client…i can see it being used in a range of engagements.
Excellent list of questions! If sincerely tried to answer basic foundation questions, more than 50% you get prepared for implementation of change! Thank you so much for sharing! I will definitely use them in my work as a consultant!
