Changemethod helps you deliver any size of change project.  

It is a scalable change management methodology, meaning you can scale it up to fit larger projects and down to fit smaller projects.  The level of change management effort depends on the following dimensions: 

  • Breadth of proposed change
  • Depth of proposed change
  • Impact of proposed change
  • Criticality of proposed change


These dimensions, which you can assess using the Change Dimensions Diagnostic within the methodology, will determine the overall change management approach and effort.  The figure below illustrates types of change program of ever increasing dimensions:

Changemethod-types-of-change-management-project

The different types of change can be characterized in the following ways:

Transactional Change 

  • Breadth: change is restricted to one or two isolated functional areas or business units
  • Depth: involves limited changes to the way people will work
  • Impact: some impact to processes and tools but not organization or culture
  • Criticality: driven by an internal need to change, impacts non-core functions and does not tie directly to a corporate strategy


Operational Change 

  • Breadth: change across the organization involving multiple functions, business units and/or geographies
  • Depth: involves some change to responsibilities, knowledge, technology etc with much also staying the same
  • Impact: impacts processes and technology, some organization but very little culture
  • Criticality: driven by an internal need to change, impacts core functions and enables strategies


Transformational Change

  • Breadth: large, complex change across the enterprise and potentially partners too
  • Depth: new and demanding ways of working will be required for the change to happen
  • Impact: impacts processes, technology, organization and even culture
  • Criticality: driven by an external need to change (e.g. customer demand), impacts core functions and drives the realization of strategies


To achieve the best results with Changemethod we recommend you scale it up or down to fit the dimensions and needs of each change project.
