The Transitions Toolkit

Transitions Toolkit Components

The LeaderShift ® Transitions Toolkit was created based on over twenty years of experience trying just about every change tool and model we could find. They were tested on all sizes of projects in nearly every industry and consistently came up short. The gap was a huge need for a toolkit that was:

  1. Simple - didn’t required lots of steps or decisions regarding which tools to use
  2. Integrated – a logical sequence that could be housed all in one place
  3. Unobtrusive – easily embedded existing work vs. requiring an entire ‘change’ workstream on a project

To often, we see companies building ‘change teams’. Either centralized centers of excellence or dedicated project workstreams. The LeaderShift Transitions Toolkit was created to eliminate the need for change as separate work and use existing project resources to drive change. After all, that is what projects do.

This streamlined toolkit enables leaders to strategically build and execute a complete, actionable change plan that ‘gets it right the first time’ and integrates driving change into the existing project work. The plan helps clarify what’s changing and who is impacted, anticipate the transitions they will go through, and capture actions to support them through the transitions required to drive and sustain change.

The LeaderShift® Transitions Toolkit provides a framework to organize information about a change in a simple, useable format that can be leveraged through the life of a project. It enables the team to prepare stakeholders to accept, embrace, and adopt the future state.

Any change effort tells a complete story, from understanding the current state to reinforcing changes after implementation. The toolkit drives a logical process for building that story, providing not only the big picture (what you are doing) but also specific direction for what to do at each step. All tools are scalable to any size project and enable you to build a case for change, identify what specifically needs to change, navigate through it, and measure success.

Embedded into the Driving Sustainable Change workshop, the toolkit is leverages The Influence Model to drive change and is taught hands-on. Participants will leave having learned the tool and new skills while making progress on an existing change in your organization.
