Who these guides are for
These guides are written for people managing change in mid-market organisations, often without a large team behind them. Whether you are running a readiness assessment for the first time, trying to write clear benefit statements for a steering group, or benchmarking your day rate before a contract conversation, each guide gives you a starting point that is grounded in real delivery experience.
The free tools on theChangeTracker are designed to be useful on their own. These guides make them more useful still, by explaining the thinking behind each tool and how to apply the outputs in practice.
If you are new to change management or returning to it after time in a different role, the readiness and benefits guides are the best place to start. If you are researching salary or day-rate benchmarks, the salary guide explains how to use indicative ranges without overstating their precision.
