History of the 6LeverTM Change Readiness Assessment
We created the 6LeverTM change readiness assessment over a decade ago. At its core, it’s a simple, structured, measurable way of revealing an organization’s readiness to change, fuelled by 20 years of business change experience. The online version of the tool is quick and easy to use, but Afiniti also delivers in-depth workshops with more complex, customized questions to fully analyze, benchmark and address change readiness.
Because it’s powered by real-life data from our diverse engagements, the 6LeverTM change readiness assessment is always evolving and continuously improving. For example, recent enhancements include:
- Finetuning the Afiniti Change Index, the benchmark score for each of the 6 Levers, so it fully reflects today’s expertise on what good change readiness looks like
- Ensuring the assessment is fully adaptable to measure change readiness at multiple levels, e.g. organizational, departmental or individual
- An expanded portfolio of questions to enable greater personalization for unique client and change requirements
What are the 6 Levers of Successful Change?
Based on our extensive and diverse business change experience, we have identified 6 key focus areas that need to be effective and efficient to maximize the chances of a change program succeeding. These are:
- Leadership – are your leaders committed, active and visible to steer the change and motivate their people through the journey?
- Drivers – can you clearly articulate the need for change and are your people aligned on the desired business outcomes you’re seeking to achieve?
- Capability – do your people have the skills and resources to work effectively in the new state in order to fully adopt your change?
- Method – how does your organization deliver change? Do you have defined, proven ways of doing this?
- Engagement – how well are your impacted people communicated with, motivated and aligned with your change?
- Culture – what is your organization’s attitude to change? Is it future-focused and constructive or skeptical and resistant?
The 6LeverTM Change Readiness Assessment in Action
As more and more organizations use 6LeverTM to maximize the value of their change programs, we continue adapting and improving it. In a recent engagement, we deployed the tool for a global life sciences client who had discovered they had an extremely challenging change environment. They couldn’t pinpoint the root cause of this resistance, making it impossible to resolve it. Afiniti ran a 6LeverTM workshop with their leaders to produce clarity and actionable recommendations. This was more than just assessing change readiness; we identified major challenges both qualitatively and quantitatively through deep, data-based insight compared against the dynamic Afiniti Change Index.
This empowered our client to take effective action:
- Uniting leaders and enhancing their change capability, enabling them to become active advocates for their complex change program
- Taking employees on the change journey, ensuring they felt involved by implementing channels for making their voices heard and acted on
- Creating a completely new, targeted strategy for change, equipping the client to prioritize resources to address identified challenges in a structured way
- Establishing a baseline against which improved progress could be evidenced across multiple KPIs and ensuring this progress was visible
- Instilling greater agility to course correct throughout the change journey
Ultimately, the insights unlocked from the 6Lever TM change readiness assessment allowed our client to turn around their challenged change program and set themselves up to achieve their desired business outcomes. By investing in change readiness at the outset, they mitigated against the risk of confusion and stagnant progress in the future.
Make no mistake – good business change is hard to do well, whatever its scale and scope. There are a huge number of factors to plan for and address to ensure success, and it can be hard to know where to even start.
If you’re wondering this, or if you’re doing everything you can and still not making progress, ask yourself: “Are my organization and I actually ready to go on this change journey?”
Next question: “How can you know you’re ready?”
