What problem does it solve? Leading organizational change often fails because teams apply a single model in isolation, misdiagnose the real problem, or measure activity instead of adoption. This Skill provides a structured knowledge base from "Organizational Change: An Action-Oriented Toolkit" by Deszca, Ingols, and Cawsey, giving practitioners a coherent set of frameworks for diagnosing what to change and managing how to change it. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Change Path Model: Guides initiatives through Awakening, Mobilization, Acceleration, and Institutionalization as a feedback-rich loop rather than a checklist. - Diagnostic Toolkit: Includes Open Systems, Nadler-Tushman Congruence, Sterman systems dynamics, Quinn's Competing Values, Greiner growth stages, and Stacey complexity lenses. - People and Power Analysis: Covers readiness assessment, ADKAR adoption, stakeholder mapping, Schein culture diagnosis, psychological contracts, and influence strategies. - Measurement and Control: Applies Simon's four control systems, Balanced Scorecard, Risk Exposure Calculator, and DICE scoring to track change progress. - Use Case: A manager facing stalled adoption of a new operating model can load the cheatsheet, diagnose the missing ADKAR condition, map stakeholder power, and select an influence strategy with chapter-level detail. ## Quick Start Ask the skill to diagnose a stalled change initiative using the Change Path Model and recommend readiness and stakeholder actions.
