Appropriate change management and internal communications are critical to the success of your change plan, whether that’s driven by:
- Digital transformation
- M&A integration
- Reorganization or business model change
Measuring Change Management Success
Change management is hard to measure, though, as it is an effort to inspire, motivate, and change the behavior of people. How will you know it’s working? Your program goals will likely have overarching goals, such as ROI, cost savings, or safety/security (zero incidents). But people are the make-or-break aspect of most plans and you can track the adoption of your change plan with KPIs. Here are some examples:
KPIs of Good Change Management

If you’re looking to integrate employees post-acquisition or merger, you need engaged, motivated people who are learning and adapting to new processes and performing consistently for customers.
Looking to change how you serve the organization or an external market? You also need to measure your employees’ willingness and ability to adapt to change.
Moving to a digital-first strategy that changes the skills, processes, and roles of your employees? Make sure you’re monitoring some of the KPIs above.
What are the right KPIs for your change plan? Determine the behaviors you are looking to change and map those to available metrics, or create a simple means of establishing one.
