Change Audit

Having established what type of change you are intending to make and within what type of organisational culture you are operating you are now in a position to consider your overall strategy.

On the other hand you may already be doubting the feasibility/desirability of your plans. At this point it may be wise to review the Business Case for the change. Developing a business case is not necessarily a one-off activity. As with any project, if your change initiative is a large scale and lengthy project, you may need to review the business case at key points. Similarly you should be developing a Risk Log and Risk Management Plan that is regularly reviewed and updated.

This may also be a good point at which to reflect on previous change initiatives within your organisation to identify the approaches taken and consider the implications for your current project. One tool you can use to do this is the Change Audit.
