The Change Impact Assessment Calculator is created based on the Change Impact Assessment Model developed by North Sakara (creators of the changeportal). In creating the Change Impact Assessment Model, our expert consultants focused on four areas for assessing change impact. These are:


Reach: assessing the reach and size of the change is essential to understanding how big or small the impact of the change is.


Complexity: Assessing how complex the intended change is is crucial to understanding the scope and impact of the change.


Business Continuity: assessing the disruption to business services and downstream systems during the change is fundamental to understanding the change's impact fully.


Prior experience: assessing the organisation's previous experience implementing a change programme of this scale and complexity provides valuable insight.

The Change Impact Assessment Calculator is designed for use by anyone tasked with leading or supporting the initiation of a transformational change programme. This could be:


- Transformation Sponsors


- Transformation Directors


- Change Management Consultants


- Programme and Project Managers


- Line Managers and Supervisors
