What assumptions did the Change Team make about who would be most resistant — and were they right?
Question 2 of 5
Which engagement action moved the needle most? Why do you think that worked better than others?
Question 3 of 5
When did pushing harder backfire? What was the signal you missed?
Question 4 of 5
What did stakeholders actually need that they couldn't get from a town hall or written comms?
Question 5 of 5
