Change Management Playbook
A framework for rolling out organizational changes without chaos, adapting the ADKAR model for startups. It covers communication templates, resistance patterns, and change fatigue management, and produces a structured playbook for process changes, org restructures, strategy pivots, and culture changes.
✨ What it does
- Adapts the ADKAR model (Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, Reinforcement) for startup speed
- Provides communication sequences for four change types: process, org, strategy, culture
- Includes a resistance patterns table with signals and responses
- Offers change fatigue signals, prevention, and recovery strategies
- Lists red flags to avoid during change rollout
- Provides key questions to assess change readiness
🎯 When to use it
- Announcing a reorg, new leader, or team split/merge
- Switching tools or rolling out new processes
- Pivoting strategy or killing a product
- Refreshing company culture or values
- When users mention change management, change rollout, managing resistance, org change, reorg, or pivot communication
🚀 How to use
Trigger by asking for change management guidance, e.g., 'We're reorging next month, help me plan the rollout.' The skill expects a description of the change type (process, org, strategy, culture) and current stage. It outputs a structured playbook with ADKAR phases, communication sequence, and resistance handling. Example prompts:
Help me plan a rollout for switching our CRM to Salesforce.
We're pivoting our product strategy, how should we communicate it to the team?
📄 Output: A structured change management playbook with ADKAR phases, communication sequence, and resistance handling.
