We’ll dive into the org readiness tool’s core features that contribute to making OCMS Portal the best All-in-One organizational change management platform by simplifying and streamlining the change management process.
The change readiness assessment tool helps you assess stakeholders and impacted users’ preparedness for the change, identify potential roadblocks or challenges, and develop strategies to address them. It is part of “Phase 1: Assess” in the OCMS Portal OCM Framework.
When you first open the organizational change readiness tool it will automatically populate all of the individuals in your target audience. This is one way that the OCMS Portal has been designed to save you valuable time and keep you engaged in critical areas. But you always narrow or expand your stakeholder target audience, leaving you with the ultimate freedom to tailor your assessments.
OCMS Portal is a learning resource, you can access tool related video tutorials and important resources such as documented guides.
OCMS Portal is also a companion while you conduct your change management activities and the organizational readiness tool is there to help you analyze and understand your target audience.
In the org readiness assessment tool you’ll be able to:
1. Quickly populate the tool with your desired target audience
2. Assess stakeholders by 4 core attributes:
Assessing for “Awareness” helps you gauge a group or individual’s understanding of the nature of the change, why it’s needed and the risks of not changing. Next, assessing “acceptance” levels helps you understand the willingness of individuals and groups within the organization to accept and embrace the change initiative.
The readiness “knowledge” attribute is all about the group or individual’s deep understanding of the specific changes being proposed, the reasons for the change, and the associated processes and requirements. And lastly, “Proficiency”, which refers to the degree of expertise and competence in the specific areas relevant to the change initiative.
3. Easily send out the OCMS Portal Change Readiness Assessment surveys to your designed target audience:
4. Gauge an automatically calculated readiness level provided to you in real-time as you assess your target audience.
5. Seamlessly review and edit an auto-generated engagement plan that’s tailored to effectively engage each individual based on their unique readiness score. It’s also designed to help you identify barriers and obstacles that may hinder the successful implementation of the change. While mitigating all identified risks and barriers by deploying effective strategies. The more stakeholders you assess the clearer the average readiness level score paints a picture of the current readiness landscape and preparedness of the impacted groups.
6. Engage in multi assessment tracking by concluding assessments and start new ones. This allows you to monitor the progress of your target audience during and after the change implementation. Create as many assessments as you need to regularly evaluate how well the organization is adapting to the change and whether adjustments to the plan are needed.

Background Story Behind the OCMS Portal Change Readiness Matrix, Template, and Business Change Readiness Checklist
As a Senior Change Management Consultant and a former U.S. Marine, I have successfully delivered transformational business, social, and culture changes that impacted hundreds of thousands of individuals across the Federal Reserve Bank, Intel, Accenture, Cisco, Apple, Deloitte, Capital One, Fannie Mae, AIG, HSBC, and other organizations.
Throughout my change management career, one major pain point I have heard from hundreds of practitioners has been a lack of a consistent, standardized, and best-in-class operational readiness assessment template that can be used to evaluate individuals and groups for go-live readiness.
And so, as a Pioneer of best business, social, and organizational toolkits, and a strong advocate of the global innovation community I decided to work with OCM Solution (formerly AGS) Designers and Developers to launch the #1 top-ranked Project Readiness Assessment Template below that any change practitioner, organization or consulting firm can use, irrespective of experience.

A change readiness assessment is not a one-time-and-be-done exercise. You want to assess each group multiple times over a period of time to see whether there is improvement or deterioration in their readiness for the change. See the operational readiness assessment template screenshots below for examples.
Connect Key Indicators of Go-Live Readiness to Change Management Engagement
A key goal of a structured change management program is to increase impacted user readiness and adoption. This includes the awareness, acceptance, capacity, knowledge, and training needed to ready impacted individuals for the change.
Once you review the reporting from your organizational readiness to change assessment tool, you’ll see which areas require more user engagement and can track your progress in delivering the activities to increase readiness.
For example, if you see that awareness of the change is low, this indicates that communications engagement is needed to improve awareness. As awareness increases, so does the overall readiness for the change.
If you see that acceptance of the change is low when reviewing the organizational change readiness assessment template, it indicates that meetings and workshops might be needed to improve support for the project.
Being able to track the progress of these activities to increase readiness right in the same change readiness assessment template as you are tracking assessments is incredibly helpful. As it allows you to see where more change management engagement is needed.
For example, say that you see that several stakeholder groups showing low knowledge in the go live readiness checklist template, but also see that delivery of training engagement is at 100%. This indicates more training should be added to improve knowledge so the stakeholders will be ready for the transition.
Likewise, if there are several groups with low awareness listed in your project go live checklist template, you may also note that communication activities have not started yet, which is the reason.
Do you have questions about the types of activities that will increase change readiness? Looking for more guidance on using a post-implementation review checklist or an alternative for the Prosci change readiness assessment? Check out our Ultimate Readiness Assessment Guide.

FAQ | Change Readiness Matrix Tool
What is readiness assessment?
A readiness assessment is a set of tasks done to learn how ready impacted stakeholders are for an upcoming transition. A project go live checklist is often used to ensure that people have the awareness, knowledge, and training needed and are ready to successfully adopt a new project solution by the project’s “go-live” date.
What does a change readiness assessment look like?
A change readiness matrix and assessment will look like a chart with key readiness indicators. Groups will be surveyed on these indicators, which will be looked at holistically to provide an overall readiness result. A change readiness assessment is performed more than once during a project to see if change management efforts are improving levels of readiness as expected. The readiness plan reporting will often show the progression of readiness indicators on an assessment timeline.
How do you assess if an organization is ready for a change?
When using a project or software implementation checklist to assess if an organization is ready for change, you’ll use some key indicators that are measurements of readiness. These include things like awareness of the change, acceptance of the change, capacity for change, knowledge of what is changing, and the level of training needed.
Do you have an alternative to the change readiness assessment template Prosci has?
