How to use

Assess impact scores

▸

Rate each of the six impact categories from 1 (no change) to 5 (disruptive change), based on the information currently available. This is a high-level assessment.

Read the total change impact

▸

The six scores add up to a Total Change Impact out of 30, banded from Marginal to Severe. This influences your change strategy and approach.

Watch the characteristics wheel

▸

The four core impacts — Process, Technology, Behaviour, Organizational — plot live on the spider chart. A score of 3 or higher counts as a spike on that axis.

Identify your change characteristic

▸

The combination of spiked axes lights up the matching coloured ring, revealing the specific character of your change.
