Easy-to-Use Operational Readiness Assessment Template
Background Story Behind the OCM Solution Change Readiness Matrix, Template, and Business Change Readiness Checklist
As a Senior Change Management Consultant and a former U.S. Marine, I have successfully delivered transformational business, social, and culture changes that impacted hundreds of thousands of individuals across the Federal Reserve Bank, Intel, Accenture, Cisco, Apple, Deloitte, Capital One, Fannie Mae, AIG, HSBC, and other organizations.
Throughout my change management career, one major pain point I have heard from hundreds of practitioners has been a lack of a consistent, standardized, and best-in-class operational readiness assessment template that can be used to evaluate individuals and groups for go-live readiness.
And so, as a Pioneer of best business, social, and organizational toolkits, and a strong advocate of the global innovation community I decided to work with OCM Solution (formerly AGS) Designers and Developers to launch the #1 top-ranked Project Readiness Assessment Template below that any change practitioner, organization or consulting firm can use, irrespective of experience.

Connect Key Indicators of Go-Live Readiness to Change Management Engagement
A key goal of a structured change management program is to increase impacted user readiness and adoption. This includes the awareness, acceptance, capacity, knowledge, and training needed to ready impacted individuals for the change.
Once you review the reporting from your organizational readiness to change assessment tool, you’ll see which areas require more user engagement and can track your progress in delivering the activities to increase readiness.
For example, if you see that awareness of the change is low, this indicates that communications engagement is needed to improve awareness. As awareness increases, so does the overall readiness for the change.
If you see that acceptance of the change is low when reviewing the organizational change readiness assessment template, it indicates that meetings and workshops might be needed to improve support for the project.
Being able to track the progress of these activities to increase readiness right in the same change readiness assessment template as you are tracking assessments is incredibly helpful. As it allows you to see where more change management engagement is needed.
For example, say that you see that several stakeholder groups showing low knowledge in the go live readiness checklist template, but also see that delivery of training engagement is at 100%. This indicates more training should be added to improve knowledge so the stakeholders will be ready for the transition.
Likewise, if there are several groups with low awareness listed in your project go live checklist template, you may also note that communication activities have not started yet, which is the reason.

What is readiness assessment?
A readiness assessment is a set of tasks done to learn how ready impacted stakeholders are for an upcoming transition.

What does a change readiness assessment look like?
A change readiness matrix and assessment will look like a chart with key readiness indicators. Groups will be surveyed on these indicators, which will be looked at holistically to provide an overall readiness result. A change readiness assessment is performed more than once during a project to see if change management efforts are improving levels of readiness as expected. The readiness plan reporting will often show the progression of readiness indicators on an assessment timeline.
