Prove

In the Prove phase, you conduct a comprehensive review of the change initiative's outcomes, allowing sufficient time for the new processes to settle. Depending on the complexity and scale of the change, this phase can last from a few minutes to several months.

This stage is crucial for embedding the change within the organisation. A component of this process is the post-implementation review (PIR), which evaluates the overall effectiveness of the rollout. This review captures insights about the change's success, highlighting strengths and identifying improvement areas. A simple comment from the requestor or implementor may suffice for minor changes, while more substantial changes warrant a detailed assessment.

Metrics are instrumental in determining the success of the change. For example, if a change request involves implementing a new router, you can assess its performance by analysing network speed and reliability compared to the previous system. Positive metrics will indicate that the change has achieved its intended outcomes.

Change request audits further enhance understanding of the organisation's overall state of change management. By examining data collected throughout the process, these audits identify trends, assess the effectiveness of change initiatives, and guide future strategies. This structured evaluation ensures the change is successfully integrated and yields long-term organisational benefits.
