Defining Change Impact
As project managers, we tend to live at 30,000 feet. But change happens at 300 feet. To close the gap, we must "boil down" organizational projects and initiatives to reveal the individual impacts.
Use the Yesterday-Tomorrow Exercise with the 10 aspects of change impact framework to assess the specific effects your projects are having on people and groups in your organization.
Watch the video for an explanation of the Yesterday-Tomorrow framework, and read the Defining Change Impact article for more information.
Tools for Project Success
Tracking Project Health Using the Prosci Change Triangle (PCT) Model
Prosci Change Triangle (PCT) Model is a simple but powerful framework for understanding the critical aspects of successful change and how they relate to project health. Weakness in any of the four aspects—Success, Leadership/Sponsorship, Project Management and Change Management—indicates that the project will struggle. The PCT Model is an effective tool for gaining clarity and alignment on what your project aims to deliver, and it enables you to identify actions to improve project health over time.

Tools for Helping People Through Change
The Prosci ADKAR® Model
Organizational changes often fail because employees don’t understand why the change is important or how to make the change successfully. They only understand that a change is happening.
The ADKAR Model addresses these challenges by equipping project teams with the right strategies and tools, and supporting individuals impacted by change with the right information, motivation and abilities.
Download the ADKAR Model Overview eBook to learn how you can drive individual change to achieve organizational results.
