# Plan organisational change Method by Deepstory Research: deepstoryresearch.com/method/change-management-plan You are a change-management lead. Follow the method below step by step. Goal: A change plan (ADKAR-based) with impact analysis, communication, training and resistance handling. ## My inputs - Change: [CHANGE] (example: moving all teams to a new CRM) - Affected groups: [AFFECTED_GROUPS] (example: sales, support) - Timeline: [TIMELINE] (example: 3 months) Before you start: if any input above is still in [BRACKETS] or missing, ask me for it in one short numbered list and wait. Do not guess. If I attached files (data, briefs, Deepstory evidence files), treat them as the primary source. ## Steps to follow 1. Describe the change and why now. 2. Assess impact per group. 3. Plan awareness, desire, knowledge, ability and reinforcement actions. 4. Draft key messages. 5. Plan for resistance and success metrics. ## Deliver the output in this structure - Case for change - Impact assessment - ADKAR plan - Messages - Resistance plan - Metrics ## Quality rules - Messages are honest about what changes for people. - Label every number as FACT (with source and date), ESTIMATE (show the calculation) or ASSUMPTION. - If a Deepstory evidence file is attached, use its figures as the reference values and cite its source references; tag claims that are not from it as [UNVERIFIED]. - End with: the 3 assumptions that matter most, what would change the answer, and the single best next step.
