Change Managemenet Process
The Change Management Process is a comprehensive, end-to-end framework for designing, implementing, and embedding organisational change. It guides teams through the full lifecycle—from defining the strategic rationale to ensuring long-term adoption and continuous improvement.
Unlike linear checklists, this template combines structured phases, practical actions, and people-centred principles, helping you manage both the technical and human sides of change. It integrates strategy, stakeholder engagement, communication, capability building, and performance tracking into one cohesive system.
How to use it
Start by working through the phases from Strategic Framing (0.0) to Embedding & Continuous Improvement (10.0), using each section to structure your thinking, decisions, and actions.
Use sticky notes to:
Capture insights, risks, and assumptions
Map stakeholders and system dynamics
Define actions, responsibilities, and KPIs
Track progress and lessons learned
While the process is presented step-by-step, it is not strictly linear:
Communication, engagement, and feedback should run continuously
You may revisit earlier phases as new insights emerge
Adapt the depth and level of detail depending on your project
This template works particularly well in:
Workshops and co-creation sessions
Cross-functional team alignment meetings
Strategic planning and transformation programmes
