Create and Activate a
Change Adoption Plan
Increase the odds of your program’s success
You need a plan to improve organizational adoption of your change initiative if:
You are experiencing employee pushback and resistance to your change initiative.
Your leaders are not on the same page, confused about what’s coming, or miscommunicating about the change.
Your project is causing your team to feel overwhelmed and burnt out leading to declining productivity.
You’re not getting the ROI that you anticipated from the initiative.
You’re missing project deadlines.
When you hire us to create and activate a change adoptoin plan, you get more than just a strategy—you get real results:
Employees embrace new ways of working with less resistance.
Leaders confidently champion change and communicate a clear, consistent message.
Employees stay motivated, productive, and committed throughout the transition.
Your investment delivers the impact and business outcomes you expect.
Your project stays on track, meeting timelines with minimal disruption.
Our approach to co-creating and activating your change adoption plan:
Phase 1: Aligning on the Change for a Smooth, Successful Transition (6 Weeks, Depending on Client Availability)
In this critical first phase, we establish the foundation for a seamless and effective change initiative by aligning on your goals, understanding potential barriers, and setting a clear path for adoption. Here’s what we do:
Get aligned on your goals for the project and how we work together
Identify sources of resistance and key adoption barriers through employee and leadership insights via interviews, surveys, and focus groups.
Analyze how the change will affect employees, processes, and business operations to proactively address risks, resistance points, and support needs.
Identify key groups impacted by the change and establish clear short- and long-term objectives for each.
Co-develop a strong value proposition that articulates why this change is essential, what’s in it for stakeholders, and what’s shifting.
Evaluate the effectiveness of the change sponsors and frontline leaders to drive engagement and champion the change.
Define key indicators to track the effectiveness of your change strategy and ensure adoption.
Phase 2: Design the Change Adoption Plan (6 Weeks)
Building on the insights from Phase 1, we develop a comprehensive change adoption roadmap designed to drive adoption and minimize disruption. Our approach integrates key elements such as targeted communications, leadership engagement, structured training, a dedicated change champion network, coaching, employee engagement, and proactive resistance management. The roadmap outlines the timing and sequence of key activities
Our Change Plan outlines clear, actionable tactics to:
Effectively communicate the change to stakeholders, reducing uncertainty and fostering confidence.
Define and amplify key stories and messages that resonate over time.
Equip leaders with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to champion the change and drive alignment.
Establish strong two-way communication channels between program sponsors and employees.
Move beyond basic communications to actively involve stakeholders in shaping and implementing the change.
Provide employees with the skills and training needed to embrace new ways of working.
Identify and proactively address concerns and resistance before they become barriers to success.
This strategic approach ensures that change isn’t just implemented—it’s embraced, leading to lasting impact and successful business outcomes.
Phase 3: Activate the Adoption Plan (4 weeks)
In this phase, we will seamlessly integrate change management activities into your master project plan, ensuring alignment with your broader objectives. Through targeted experiments and strategic communication campaigns, we will assess and refine the most effective approaches to move your teams toward the desired future state.
A pivotal component of this phase is a 3-hour Leadership Activation Session designed for program sponsors and key leaders who play a critical role in driving adoption. Tailored to your specific change initiative, this interactive workshop will equip leaders with the essential skills to guide their teams through the transition. By strengthening their ability to lead with clarity and confidence, we increase the likelihood that they take meaningful action and drive follow-through on the leadership enablement plan—ensuring sustainable success.
By the end of Phase 3, your organization will have a holistic change adoption strategy, empowered leaders who drive momentum, and a clear, data-backed roadmap to ensure teams not only embrace new ways of working but sustain them.
