A readiness score is most useful when it starts a planning conversation, not when it ends one. Use the output to focus action on areas that create delivery risk.
Step-by-step
- Run the assessment with a concise project brief in mind.
- Identify the two lowest-scoring areas and treat them as immediate risk themes.
- For each low-scoring area, define one owner, one 30-day action, and one measure.
- Share the snapshot with sponsors and SMEs to confirm assumptions.
- Review scores monthly to check whether delivery actions are improving readiness.
What good looks like
High-performing teams keep actions small and measurable, for example: “Publish weekly change updates to all affected managers” rather than “Improve communication.”
Next steps
Run the change readiness assessment, then use benefits and impacts to draft practical talking points for your project plan.
