Prosci Change Management Maturity Model Audit Prosci Learning Guide Change Management Maturity Model Audit In Brief: This preparation guide presents the Prosci Change Management Maturity Model and describes the associated Prosci Change Management Maturity Model Audit which enables the assessment of organizational change management maturity against five s. For more tools and resources: http://portal.prosci.com As organizations experience more and more change, the ability to effectively manage the people side of that change in order to deliver results and outcomes is growing. The Prosci Change Management Maturity Model describes the five levels of organizational maturity in managing the people side of change. The five-leveled model is shown in Figure 1.

Maturity Model Levels Like many other maturity models, the Prosci Change Management Maturity Model presents five levels of maturity from Ad hoc or Absent through Organizational Competency. Level 1: Ad hoc or Absent At Level 1 of the Maturity Model, project teams are not aware of and do not consider change management as a formal approach for managing the people side of change. Change management is applied on a project at this level only as a last resort when employee resistance jeopardizes the success of the project. At this level, change management is reactive and an add-on to the project. No integration with project management takes place at the beginning of the project. Level 2: Isolated Projects In Level 2, elements of change management begin to emerge in isolated parts of the organization. The effort to manage the people side of change is infrequent and is not centralized. Change management is applied on a project when resistance emerges or when the project nears implementation with only isolated projects using change management at the beginning of their project. Some elements of communication planning occur early in the live cycle. In Level 2, change management is not fully integrated into project management. On projects that use change management, the project team is aware and knowledgeable of change management. In certain instances, a change management advocate can encourage the integration of change management and project management. Level 3: Multiple Projects At Level 3, groups emerge that begin using a structured change management process. Change management is still localized to particular teams or areas in the organization. Change management is initiated at the start of some projects, with a large fraction still applying change management as a reaction to employee resistance during implementation. In Level 3, teams who are successful at change management integrate change management with their overall project management methodology at the inception of the project. Communication planning is integrated at the planning phase, and other plans are developed prior to implementation. Level 4: Organizational Standards In Level 4, the organization has selected a common approach and implemented standards for using change management on every new project or change. Note: a common methodology does not mean a one-size-fits-all recipe. Effective methodologies use repeatable steps but are built on understanding the situation and using the appropriate tools for the specific change. At Level 4, teams regularly use a change management approach from the beginning of their projects. Change management work begins at the planning phase of the project. Project management and change management are integrated from the beginning, to the point where they are not separable. Project teams follow both project and change management milestones. Level 5: Organizational Competency Level 5 is having change management competency as part of the skill set of the organization. Change management begins before projects begin. When organizations have developed a high level of change management competency, change management steps are completely integrated into project management. Planning and design phases have both project and change management elements and are viewed as standard practice. Copyright 2014 Prosci Inc. All rights reserved. www.prosci.com 2
Benchmarking data The figure below shows the results from Prosci's last four benchmarking studies. Participants in the studies selected their level in the Prosci Change Management Maturity Model with descriptions of each of the levels. With the growing number of participants in each study (475 in 2007; 575 in 2009; 650 in 2011; 822 in 2013), there appears to be more participation from organizations just starting to apply change management so showing lower levels of maturity. Data from Prosci benchmarking report Best Practices in Change Management - 2014 Edition Level 5 Level 4 Level 3 Level 2 2013 2011 2009 2007 Level 1 0% 20% 40% 60% s: The maturity of a particular organization in change management can be described with five Areas that demonstrate change management maturity: Leadership, Application, Competencies, Standardization and Socialization. 1: Leadership The Leadership focuses on the specific leadership activities around the building of change management capabilities and competencies. This is not a general description of leadership and sponsorship in the organization. This focuses on the leadership commitment, activities and messages around the importance and value of change management and the effort to build organizational capabilities and competencies. Who is sponsoring change management deployment? What are they doing to demonstrate that support? If Leadership scores low in the audit, then plans should be focused on this factor immediately.

2: Application The second is Application. The focus of this evaluation is the use of change management processes and tools on projects and initiatives in the organization. Factors for evaluation include percentage of projects applying change management, extent and breadth of application across the organization, and resource availability (both people and funding) for applying change management on projects and initiatives. This area often scores high earlier than other s as an organization starts the journey of building change management capabilities and competencies. 3: Competencies Change management is ultimately done by employees, supervisors, managers, leaders, project teams and practitioners throughout the organization. The third is competencies and looks at the training, development and demonstrated competencies as leading change by each of these key groups that must apply change management tools and principles. While training tends to be an early focus of organizations, to score high on this programs must be in place for all doers of change management and performance must be evaluated. 4: Standardization The Standardization looks at the mechanisms and systems that can be used to institutionalize change management. This area includes the use of a common approach, integration with project management, creation of triggers for change management, and inclusion of change management in other improvement approaches. Standardization is the that enables effective change management to become a fixed component of how the organization introduces change. Leadership involvement is critical to advance the Standardization. 5: Socialization: Prosci Change Management Maturity Model The fifth and final, Socialization, focuses on building commitment and buy-in for Area 1: Leadership Area 2: Application Area 3: Competencies Area 4: Standardization Area 5: Socialization change management throughout the organization. Effectively building capabilities and competencies requires buy-in and commitment throughout the organization. The fifth is the focus of the idea that change management takes change management.

Increasing organizational change management maturity To increase organizational change management maturity, a concerted effort must take place to institutionalize change management practices, processes, capabilities and competencies. Prosci calls this effort Enterprise Change Management. Enterprise Change Management (ECM) is the structured, intentional and holistic effort to deploy change management broadly across and throughout an organization. With Enterprise Change Management, effectively managing the people side of change becomes more than a business practice; it becomes a core competency, competitive differentiator and cultural value of the organization. Institutionalizing change management takes a concerted effort and a view of "institutionalizing change management practices, processes, capabilities and competencies" as a project and a change to be managed. The ECM Roadmap is built on the premise that "institutionalizing change management" is a project and a change to be managed. The ECM Roadmap contains complete descriptions and action steps for six core elements: Project ECM Overview, Assess Current State, Define Future State, Design Transition State: Technical Side, Design Transition State: People Side and Manage Project ECM as a project. www.prosci.com/ecm/ecm-roadmap.htm Prosci ECM Boot Camp With Prosci's offerings for Enterprise Change Management, organizations are provided the direction, research, thoughtleadership, and tools for creating breakthrough performance by building a change management core competency.
