Services/Change Management 2.0

Change Management 2.0

Replace surveys and checkpoints with telemetry-driven adoption, behavioral nudges, and predictive interventionsthat drive real-time course correction.

Traditional Change Management Is Broken

The Prosci/ADKAR playbook worked in 2005. But in a world of continuous delivery, distributed teams, and AI-augmented workflows, quarterly surveys and training checkpoints can't keep pace. By the time you know there's a problem, it's too late.

Core Capabilities

The Change Technology Stack

Real-Time Adoption Tracking

Instrument your applications with behavioral telemetry to track feature adoption, workflow completion rates, and user journey friction points.

  • Track adoption by persona, department, and geography
  • Identify drop-off points and friction in workflows
  • Measure time-to-proficiency by role
Behavioral Nudge Engine

Deploy contextual micro-interventions triggered by user behavior patterns, resistance signals, or workflow deviations.

  • Contextual in-app guidance at point of need
  • Personalized nudges based on adoption curve position
  • A/B tested intervention effectiveness
Sentiment Analytics

Continuous measurement of sentiment through pulse surveys, NPS tracking, and passive signals from support tickets and Slack.

  • Early warning signals for change fatigue
  • Segment-specific sentiment tracking
  • Correlation of sentiment with adoption rates
Resistance Pattern Recognition

ML models that detect resistance patterns before they become blockers, enabling proactive intervention.

  • Predict resistance 2-3 weeks before manifestation
  • Identify high-risk segments for targeted support
  • Track effectiveness of intervention strategies

Maturity Model

Four Levels of Change Management Maturity

L1
Reactive

Change managed through checkpoints, surveys, and readiness gates

  • Manual tracking
  • Quarterly surveys
  • Email-based communication
L2
Instrumented

Behavioral data captured, dashboards built, but interventions are manual

  • Event tracking live
  • Adoption dashboards
  • Weekly reviews
L3
Nudge-Enabled

Automated micro-interventions triggered by behavior patterns

  • Contextual in-app guidance
  • Segment-specific nudges
  • A/B testing
L4
Predictive

ML models predict resistance, recommend interventions, close the loop

  • Predictive analytics
  • Automated interventions
  • Continuous learning
