As many organizations implement workplace changes, such as new technologies, AI, team restructuring, return-to-office policies, or updated processes, I’ve received multiple requests for change management resources. Behind these requests is a growing concern about change fatigue: a state of physical and mental exhaustion caused by the constant need to adapt to new initiatives. According to Prosci’s Best Practices in Change Management report (May 2023), the average organization manages five major change initiatives at any given time, with many overseeing 10 or more when including smaller projects and process changes. That number is likely even higher today. Leaders who focus solely on the business case for individual change initiatives often lack visibility into the overall volume of change occurring across the organization. This can lead to a cumulative toll on teams—driving disengagement, resistance, and burnout. To help leaders gain a clearer view and manage change in a more sustainable manner, my one-page template helps initiate a holistic review of all current and proposed changes, their timing, and their impact across various groups. This editable one-pager helps organizations better align the pace of change with employees’ capacity to adapt, serving as a starting point for developing more detailed change management plans.
