Introduction1:37

Managing the Go-Live Phase5:34
Introduces the critical go-live phase as the moment when planning meets reality.

Real-Time Adaptation and Issue Management5:33
Guides learners through managing the inevitable surprises that arise during implementation. Covers monitoring adoption signals in real time, distinguishing between expected transition challenges and genuine plan failures, triggering plan adaptations, communicating changes transparently, and maintaining stakeholder confidence when plans need adjustment.

Change Measurement Fundamentals5:05
Introduces the purpose and principles of change measurement, distinguishing between organizational performance metrics, change management performance metrics, and individual change progress indicators. Covers why measurement matters for demonstrating CM value, enabling course correction, and building the evidence base for future change investments.
Adoption and Usage Metrics5:21
Deep dive into measuring whether people are actually using the new systems, processes, and behaviors that the change introduced. Covers adoption rate measurement, usage frequency and depth metrics, proficiency assessment approaches, speed of adoption tracking, and common pitfalls in adoption measurement including the difference between compliance and genuine adoption.
Business Outcome Realization6:02
Examines how to connect change management activities to the business outcomes the initiative was designed to achieve. Covers benefits realization tracking, the time lag between adoption and outcomes, isolating change management’s contribution, building outcome dashboards, and presenting measurement results to leadership in a way that demonstrates ROI.

Why Changes Fail to Stick5:04
Examines the common reasons that changes revert after go-live, including premature declaration of victory, removal of support structures too early, lack of reinforcement mechanisms, competing priorities that pull attention away, and cultural antibodies that reject the change. Introduces the sustainment challenge as the gap between initial adoption and lasting behavioral change.
Embedding Change in the Organization5:21
Presents practical strategies for making change permanent, including integrating new behaviors into performance management systems, aligning incentives and recognition with the desired state, updating policies and procedures, embedding change in onboarding and development programs, and transferring ownership from the change team to line management.
