Change Management
Framework for rolling out organizational changes without chaos.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
Change can be tricky to communicate well. You might want to think about how people perceive the shift, what you're asking them to do differently, and how to address concerns. It helps to be clear about the 'why' and give people time to adjust. I could help you draft a message or think through the rollout if you want. What specific changes are you announcing?
ADKAR MODEL BREAKDOWN: AWARENESS → Day 1-3: Send memo explaining financial pressure + competitive landscape shift driving reorg. Frame as adaptation, not crisis. DESIRE → Day 4-7: Host town halls addressing "what's in it for me" per role (career growth, tooling, clearer scope). Surface early adopters as peer champions. KNOWLEDGE → Week 2-3: Role-specific training on new reporting lines, decision rights, systems access. Pair each person with a buddy. ABILITY → Week 4-6: Supervised ramp on new workflows. Measure velocity, not just task completion. REINFORCEMENT → Week 7+: Monthly check-ins on team stability. Celebrate one small win per week. Reward people who helped peers adapt. COMMON TRAPS: • Announcing without manager prep → 48h early briefing required • Vague timelines → specify "new structure live Friday" not "soon" • Forgetting losers → dedicated 1-1 for demoted/displaced roles RESISTANCE PATTERNS: Early skeptics are often your best advocates if heard first.
