Use when rolling out a reorg, pivot, tool switch, leadership change or product kill. Plans it with ADKAR, communication templates and resistance patterns.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Change Management Playbook

Most changes fail at implementation, not design. The ADKAR model tells you why and how to fix it.

## Keywords
change management, ADKAR, organizational change, reorg, process change, tool migration, strategy pivot, change resistance, change fatigue, change communication, stakeholder management, adoption, compliance, change rollout, transition

## Core Model: ADKAR Adapted for Startups

ADKAR is a change management model by Prosci. Original version is for enterprises. This is the startup-speed adaptation.

### A — Awareness

**What it is:** People understand WHY the change is happening — the business reason, not just the announcement.

**The mistake:** Communicating the WHAT before the WHY. "We're moving to a new CRM" before "here's why our current process is killing us."

**What people need to hear:**
- What is the problem we're solving? (Be honest. If it's "we need to cut costs," say that.)
- Why now? What would happen if we didn't change?
- Who made this decision and how?

**Startup shortcut:** A 5-minute video from the CEO or decision-maker explaining the "why" in plain language beats a formal change announcement document every time.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add alirezarezvani/claude-skills/change-management@sha256:7320d1f32a197fb5

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
