Managing Change — Kotter's 8 steps, the Change Curve, and full stakeholder mapping for internal and external audiences, in one working planner. Built for the change with a deadline, and the change that never really ends.
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.
The full model as a working tracker — status and notes on every step, so you can see exactly where momentum is being lost.
One map for everyone the change touches — impact, interest, key concerns and a specific engagement plan for each.
Track which phase each stakeholder group is actually in — denial, resistance, exploration or commitment — and what support they need right now.
Three risks, properly separated: what could go wrong, what old habit could quietly resurface, and what this change relies on outside your control.
Budget lines and milestones side by side, so cost overruns and timeline slippage show up in the same place.
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."
Rolling out a new process, system or way of working to a team that didn't ask for it.
Managing change with a hard deadline — and the stakeholders who all want something different from it.
Leading change that has no fixed end date — it just becomes how the business works from here.
