How prepared is your organisation to embrace change in 2025?

Change. Are you over it? Or invigorated by it?

No matter how you feel, future changes in our organisations are unavoidable and managing them effectively is ever more important to survive and thrive.

Are you confident in your organisation’s capability for change?

With change on the horizon, you’re probably aware that obstacles lie ahead—even if they’re hard to identify right now. Preparing for change can be like climbing a mountain with shifting weather; sometimes the challenges aren’t obvious until they’re upon you.

Often, the barriers to effective change are so embedded in daily operations or organisational culture that they’re difficult to see from within. A fresh, outside perspective can make all the difference.

We can help.

Escient’s Change Capability Assessment is more than an evaluation. It’s a collaborative, structured process that invites your stakeholders to share insights, experiences and expectations, helping you assess readiness across five key elements essential for any successful transformation. This isn’t about scoring performance – it’s about facilitating meaningful discussions that reveal strengths and surface areas needing attention.

Our Change Capability Assessment can help you to –

• Spot potential risks early. Get an early read on likely risks and obstacles to your transformation efforts.
• Apply lessons from the past. Learn from past change experiences and take action to avoid repeating past mistakes.     
• Prioritise investments. Identify the actions and resources to smooth the journey to doing things differently, based on evidence.

Maybe you’ll find your initial assumptions validated. Our assessments have often confirmed client hypotheses, offering credible insights that drive organisations to confidently enhance their change capabilities and avoid being caught off-guard.

We also recognise that each organisation is unique. That’s why our assessment process is tailored to meet your needs and responsive to your circumstances.

Why choose Escient?

Internal reviews are valuable, but they’re often affected by blind spots and existing biases. Escient’s Change Capability Assessment brings an independent perspective, helping you identify resistance points, process bottlenecks, or skill gaps that may otherwise go unnoticed.

It’s tempting to think you can do this yourself, but internal capability reviews are often undermined by blind spots and biases, whether actual or perceived.

Our assessment provides an independent perspective, free from existing dynamics. It can reveal bottlenecks, resistance points, or skill gaps that can then be proactively addressed.

It’s about gaining the clearest picture possible to position your transformation initiatives for success.
