Change Impact Assessment

Change Impact Assessment is the process of analyzing how a proposed change—such as new procedures, tools, or policies—will affect an organization. It involves identifying who and what might be affected, understanding potential risks or disruptions, and evaluating the benefits versus the drawbacks. This assessment helps decision-makers plan for a smooth transition, minimize negative consequences, and ensure that resources are allocated effectively. Essentially, it’s a strategic way to foresee the effects of change and prepare appropriately to support successful implementation.
