ChangeEffect Assessment.
Is your change set up for success?
Are you leading a change or transformation and:
Worried your change isn’t set up to succeed?
Need evidence to justify investment or get your steering committee on board?
Want to spot the gaps before they become costly problems?
Keen to get stakeholders on board with data, not just instinct?
Need a credible baseline to track progress over time?
The ChangeEffect Assessment™ gives you a clear score and practical recommendations – so you know exactly where your change stands and what to do next.
Start with the free Snapshot for a quick self-check. Choose Baseline for multiple stakeholders and a clear evidence-base. For complex or high-risk changes, select Expert for deep insights and strategic guidance.
Find out before it costs you – time, money, or your reputation.
What others say
“In my case the change is multi-organisational, with a range of stakeholders. This is really good. Thought provoking questions. The recommendations are on the money, I think. Each of these are literally exactly what I need to do.”
Manager, Government Department
“Tool has been invaluable”
“I am involved in enterprise digital transformation in a large healthcare provider. And our change team is new and inexperienced. This tool has been invaluable in helping us plan our change. I’m currently seeking budget to do the Expert assessment too.”
Manager, Healthcare
“This is great for a project lead who is trying to make the case to a sponsor for some funding for change management.”
“Compared with hiring a full time change manager, it’s low cost.“
How it works.
1. Choose your assessment
Start with Snapshot for a quick view or select Baseline/Expert for multiple stakeholders and deep insights.
2. COMPLETE THE ASSESSMENT
Answer questions on how well the elements of Vision, Pressure, and Plan are in place for your change.
3. RECEIVE YOUR RESULTS
Get an overall score, element scores, and practical recommendations to increase your likelihood of success.
4. CONSULT ON NEXT STEPS
Meet with a senior consultant to discuss your results, clarify priorities, and decide what to do next.
Built on a proven framework
The assessment is built on the ChangeEffect Model™, a practical framework based on 20 years of experience leading complex change.
The model defines the elements required for successful change – Vision, Pressure, and Plan.
Every assessment evaluates your change against these three essential elements.

Who you’ll be working with
Carly Marriner, ChangeEffect founder, has spent more than 20 years leading complex change across government, health, and large organisations – including digital transformations, system rollouts, and culture change for organisations like CSIRO, Eastern Health, and Services Australia.
She built the ChangeEffect Assessment because leaders deserve a clearer, more honest picture of where their change actually stands – before it’s too late to act.
Your consult will usually be with Carly directly. If another senior ChangeEffect consultant leads your session, we’ll let you know in advance.
