Team collaboration › Common situations
A change is on its way
A restructure, a new system, a merger, a new strategy. The plan is ready. The question is whether the team will be ready before it lands, not three months after.
What's often going on
- When things shift, the team keeps going but stops talking. That's Heads Down Under Pressure.
- The same change lands very differently on different people. That's One Change, Felt Differently.
- The why gets lost somewhere between the announcement and the job.
What helps
- Seeing where the team is ready, and where it isn't, before the change lands
- Giving managers the conversation, not just the slide deck
- Checking again once the change is in, so nothing is left to chance
For this one, we'd usually start with the Change Readiness Pulse Check, before the change lands, then a 30-minute chat about what it shows.

Is it too late if the change has started?
No. It's harder, but the pulse check shows where to start.
Is this change management?
It's the people side of it, the part a project plan doesn't cover.
