Here's an example of how the ADKAR model (Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, Reinforcement) can be used to assess change readiness in an organizational transformation context:
Context:
A large retail company is migrating its legacy infrastructure to a cloud-based platform. The Programme Manager uses the ADKAR model to assess readiness among employees in IT, Finance, and Marketing departments.
1. Awareness
Assessment Question:
"Do employees understand why the cloud migration is necessary?"
Findings:
IT team shows 90% awareness.
Marketing team is unaware of the upcoming changes.
Finance is skeptical, believing it’s a cost-cutting exercise.
Action:
Hold town halls and release short videos from the CIO explaining the strategic need for agility and cost savings.
2. Desire
Assessment Question:
"Do employees want to support this change?"
Findings:
IT sees the benefits and is excited.
Marketing is indifferent.
Finance resists due to perceived control loss over financial systems.
Action:
Engage Finance early in decision-making and show how cloud systems improve reporting accuracy. Give Marketing new tools to run smarter campaigns.
3. Knowledge
Assessment Question:
"Do employees know how to change?"
Findings:
IT staff needs AWS certification.
Marketing has no training plan.
Finance needs to learn the new budgeting system.
Action:
Deploy tailored learning paths via e-learning and schedule workshops, starting with high-impact users.
4. Ability
Assessment Question:
"Are employees capable of implementing the change?"
Findings:
IT has started sandbox testing.
Marketing lacks hands-on access to cloud analytics tools.
Finance is struggling to upload and extract reports.
Action:
Offer on-the-job coaching and assign "change champions" in each department to assist with adoption.
5. Reinforcement
Assessment Question:
"What systems or behaviors ensure the change sticks?"
Findings:
IT has monthly check-ins to track usage.
Marketing has no follow-up structure.
Finance leaders reverted to spreadsheets.
Action:
Set up KPIs, gamify usage, and include adoption in performance reviews. Celebrate small wins publicly.
By mapping each team against the ADKAR stages, the Programme Manager created a focused change enablement plan, ensuring readiness gaps were addressed before the go-live.
