You'll be able to
  • map every stakeholder, including the ones plans usually miss
  • run Kotter's eight steps as a live tracker, not a poster
  • read where each group sits on the Change Curve and support them there
  • name risks and regressions before they quietly undo the change
Why it exists

Roughly 70% of change efforts fail — usually the same way.

Not because the plan was wrong, but because nobody mapped who it would actually land on, nobody named the risks out loud, and nobody noticed people quietly reverting to the old way once attention moved on. This is the structure that catches all three.

What's Inside

Every angle, in one place

Kotter's 8 steps, tracked

The full model as a working tracker — status and notes on every step, so you can see exactly where momentum is being lost.

Internal & external stakeholders

One map for everyone the change touches — impact, interest, key concerns and a specific engagement plan for each.

The Change Curve, applied

Track which phase each stakeholder group is actually in — denial, resistance, exploration or commitment — and what support they need right now.

Risk, regression & dependencies

Three risks, properly separated: what could go wrong, what old habit could quietly resurface, and what this change relies on outside your control.

Cost & timing, together

Budget lines and milestones side by side, so cost overruns and timeline slippage show up in the same place.

A scored readiness gate

Seven dimensions, rated Red/Amber/Green, scored out of 35 — not a box-ticking formality, a real answer to "are we actually ready to launch."

Who it's for

Built for the person holding the change

Team & department leads

Rolling out a new process, system or way of working to a team that didn't ask for it.

Project & programme leads

Managing change with a hard deadline — and the stakeholders who all want something different from it.

Founders & operators

Leading change that has no fixed end date — it just becomes how the business works from here.
