Identifying Your Drivers of Change (TLIB2)

This Tool guides you through identifying the drivers of change that are catalyzing your change effort. This work is Task: Assess Drivers of Change (Task I.B.2), which is part of the CLR Activity I.B Create Case for Change and Determine Initial Desired Outcomes. If you are working within the CLR process flow, you would already have clarified your plan to create your case for change and identifed initial desired outcomes.

As a change leader or consultant, understanding the catalysts driving the needed changes in your organization will enable you to design and implement an effective change strategy. Recognizing the catalysts that are driving the needed changes in your organization is the foundation for building your case for change, and essential to designing and implementing your change strategy. There are seven drivers of organizational change, all of which must be addressed to accurately scope your change effort and plan its rollout strategy.

In this Tool, you will learn to identify the specific drivers of your change and formulate them into a narrative that paints a compelling and integrated story about why your change is needed.
