The ADKAR model is popular among practitioners conducting IT projects, but can be and should be tailored to the needs of your change initiative. Whatever framework you choose, remember to evaluate how it relates back to the goals of your change initiative.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-40\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec530a2amp\/files\/2015\/04\/ADKAR-Awareness-1024x213.png\" alt=\"ADKAR - Awareness\" width=\"650\" height=\"135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec530a2amp\/files\/2015\/04\/ADKAR-Awareness-1024x213.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec530a2amp\/files\/2015\/04\/ADKAR-Awareness-300x62.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec530a2amp\/files\/2015\/04\/ADKAR-Awareness-1250x260.png 1250w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec530a2amp\/files\/2015\/04\/ADKAR-Awareness-400x83.png 400w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec530a2amp\/files\/2015\/04\/ADKAR-Awareness-900x187.png 900w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec530a2amp\/files\/2015\/04\/ADKAR-Awareness.png 1490w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The first step in the framework is Awareness. An impact assessment is an invaluable tool for understanding the scope of the change, and who is affected, in order to facilitate the first step in the model. This is because the assessment will document who is impacted, and how they are impacted. In order to successfully communicate the change, and create activities that drive awareness, a detailed understanding of what is changing for who is necessary. The impact assessment will also feed into other activities derived from each of the stages of the model. For example, effectively incorporating key stakeholders during the development of the initiative, process, or tool (Desire \/ Reinforcement), or ensuring that the training developed (Ability).<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Impact analyses\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec530a2amp\/how-can-i-do-better\/impact-analyses\/\">Tell me about conducting impact assessments.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first step in our journey is understanding the different factors affecting change efforts.
