In a change project, the minutes saved at the start are often paid for in months lost at the end.
The tool is chosen, the momentum is there, everyone wants to move forward, so the groundwork is skipped: checking together what works, what weighs on people day to day, and what each person expects from the change. Problems then surface mid-flight, at the worst moment. This module teaches you to anticipate them before you set off, whether you lead the change or go through it.

What you’ll take away
- a way to scope a change without consultants or a sixty-page report: three sets of three questions as a team
- the golden rule of scoping: five fifteen-minute interviews are worth more than five untested assumptions
- the habit of keeping what works, so you don’t dilute your strengths by changing everything
Who it’s for
Managers who lead a change, and team members who want to take part in scoping it rather than discover it along the way.
Learning objectives
- Recognize why so many transformations fail for lack of scoping, and protect that time from urgent demands.
- Draw up an honest assessment: what works, what gets stuck, and what is changing around you.
- Define a desired state that satisfies the people you serve, the team, and senior management.
- Map out the first steps: a small step this week, three-month milestones, and indicators to track progress.
