Change Management
Change Management:
An enabling framework for managing the people side of change to drive speed of adoption, utilization, and proficiency to achieve desired outcomes.
At Kognitiv, the success of projects is more than simply ensuring the technology is deployed and functioning. We want our clients to see the desired speed of adoption, system utilization and maximize the return on their investment from a people perspective. And that requires a comprehensive approach to change management alongside the project management efforts.

Plan
Change Impact Analysis
A Change Impact Analysis is an important step to understand WHO is impacted and WHAT is the level of the change along with any associated RISKS for each item. Leveraging the Kognitiv Impact Analysis tool will clearly identify key priorities for the communications and training plans as well as focus key efforts if time or people resources are constrained.
Communications Plan
Mapping out a detailed communication plan ensures the right messages get to the right people at the right time using the right delivery vehicle. Is it a page on the organization's SharePoint? A dedicated Slack channel? A video and FAQs for use in all hands meetings? A one-size-fits-all approach will not work, and Kognitiv Change Consultants know how to drive decisions on how to most effectively reach your organization.
Training Plan
With expertise in organizational learning, Kognitiv Change Consultants will design a training plan focused on key tasks and processes using the most appropriate delivery methods for each. This could include embedded help text, guided tours, job aids, video tutorials, instructor-led sessions, and train-the-trainer so clients can deliver content if needed.
