Ep 18 - Understanding Change Impacts

Change Impact Assessments help us understand what is really changing and what that means for the business. In this episode of Change Bites, we explore why impact assessments matter, the key areas to assess, practical tips for running workshops with SMEs, and common mistakes to avoid. We also discuss how to move beyond generic impacts, define clear impact criteria, and use impact assessments to drive better decisions, improve readiness, and target support where it matters most. A practical episode for change managers, project teams, people leaders, and anyone involved in delivering change. 📚 Resources mentioned: • Change Management that Sticks by Barb Grant • Change Management: The Essentials - The Modern Playbook for New and Experienced Practitioners by Lena Ross
