Introducing IMA's Assessment Tools and Resource Materials

Our series of integrated tools enables organizations to measure how change has been managed in the past and to predict key leverage points to accelerate future implementations. Specific areas can be evaluated to identify opportunities for applying your finite resources to maximize impact in less time.

We strongly encourage you to attend one of our AIM Action Learning programs to better understand the conceptual underpinnings of these tools.

ASSESSMENTS and TOOLS

Project Overview Tool: A comprehensive description of the change project

Change Agent Assessment: An analysis of the skills, experience, and relationships required by Change Agents to successfully implement the change

Organizational Change Stress Test: An evaluation of the priorities competing for resources in your organization

Implementation History Assessment: An analysis of previous implementation barriers and lessons learned

Sponsor Assessment: An evaluation of the effectiveness of Sponsors to successfully implement change, focusing on defining Sponsorship at the behavioral level—how Sponsors express, model, and reinforce the desired behaviors

Individual Readiness Assessment: An analysis of readiness for the change and potential sources of resistance to predict likely barriers

Communication Audit: An assessment of both the content and process of communication for major implementations during the unfreezing, transition, and refreezing stages. The data produced leads to specific action plans for a given project

Targeted Reinforcement Index: An assessment of the alignment between the reinforcement system and the motivation tactics essential for new behaviors

Implementation Risk Forecast: A “snapshot” measurement device designed to increase the probability of implementation success by identifying current risk factors and targeting specific resources for a project in progress
