Change Management Playbook

Most changes fail at implementation, not design. This skill provides the complete framework for rolling out organizational changes -- from process tweaks to full strategic pivots -- with minimal disruption and maximum adoption.

Clarify First

Before generating, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

• The change type (process, org/reorg, strategy pivot, or culture) — selects the playbook, timeline, and which ADKAR phase is hardest
• What is changing and the honest business WHY — the WHY anchors every communication; without it the rollout reads as arbitrary and breeds resistance
• Who is affected and how (directly affected vs. broader org) — drives communication sequencing and the order in which audiences hear it
• How many other changes are already active — if 3+ changes are running and under-absorbed, the plan must address change fatigue before adding more

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.
