Change Impact Assessment
Know what’s changing—and how it affects your people. Plan with confidence and deliver change that sticks.
Change impact assessments identify who and what will be affected by a change initiative. They help you anticipate resistance, tailor communications, and plan the right support for different groups across the organisation.
Why Change Impact Assessment Matters
Understanding the impact of change is critical for successful adoption. It’s how you ensure the right people are informed, engaged, and supported at the right time.
- Reduces risk by anticipating disruption
Minimise confusion, delays, and resistance by addressing challenges early.
- Supports targeted communications and training
Match your approach to the needs of different stakeholder groups.
- Improves engagement and buy-in
When people understand what’s changing and why, they’re more likely to support it.

Builds a foundation for realistic timelines, resource planning, and implementation.
