A common practice in leading change is to move directly from decision to implementation. This approach leads to change efforts that stall or fail completely. This tool equips change leaders to avoid this misstep. Using this 23-page tool, change leaders identify innovative, two-way involvement strategies to engage key stakeholders in their change effort and harness the power of collective energy and commitment.

Through a four-step process and sample involvement designs, this Involvement Framework tool equips change leaders to:

• Uncover stakeholders’ feelings and perspectives about change goals
• Surface stakeholders’ knowledge and expertise in designing a successful change strategy
• Identify and build the skills others need to implement and commit to the change
