Key #1--Identifying Change Characteristics
What it means:
Identifying change characteristics will help you understand how much change management support will be required and will help you scale the change management approach accordingly.
Why it is important:
When beginning the change management project, one of the most important steps you can take is to understand the nature of the change. Using a characteristics worksheet and assessment tool will help you understand the type of change, the size of the change, who is impacted (and who's not), the number of impacted employees and other critical scope questions. Each of these factors will influence your change management strategy.
