Change readiness assessment: a 12 question self check
Most change programmes fail on readiness, not on design. Twelve honest statements, two minutes, and you will know whether your organisation is ready to lead the change, which gaps to close first, and what to do next in each case.

Why this exists. Change readiness is usually assumed in the business case and discovered at go live. By then the dip in performance, the quiet resistance and the training that came too late are all expensive. This check scores the four things that decide whether a change lands: the case and leadership behind it, the people and their capacity, the process and systems they will work in, and the measures and follow through afterwards.

Your weakest areas, and what good looks like
Close the readiness gaps before go live is announced
The best time to fix a change readiness gap is before the date is public. A short, confidential conversation with someone who has led change on programmes from £1m to £13bn, and has nothing to sell you, will tell you where to focus first.
This is a starting point, not a full change readiness review. It cannot see your data or sit in your governance for a week. Treat a green as encouragement, and an amber or red as a prompt to look harder before you spend.
