Why This Slide Is Useful

This slide is valuable for management consultants and executives involved in change initiatives. It offers a clear, visual summary of a proven methodology that can be applied to guide clients through complex change processes. The ADKAR model helps identify gaps at each stage, enabling targeted interventions to improve adoption and sustainment of new practices or strategies.

The simplicity of the visual layout makes it easy to communicate the change process to diverse stakeholders, from frontline employees to senior leadership. It also serves as a diagnostic tool to assess readiness and progress at each phase, reducing the risk of change fatigue or resistance.

For strategy teams, this slide provides a framework to align change efforts with organizational goals. It supports the development of tailored communication plans, training programs, and reinforcement mechanisms that reinforce desired behaviors. Overall, it enhances the effectiveness of change management programs by providing a structured approach.

How This Slide Is Used

This slide is typically used in consulting or executive presentations to introduce or reinforce change management strategies. It often accompanies discussions on client readiness, stakeholder engagement, or implementation planning. For example, a consultant might use it to assess a client’s current state, identify gaps in each ADKAR component, and recommend targeted actions.

During workshops or training sessions, the slide can serve as a reference point for explaining the importance of each stage in the change journey. It helps facilitate conversations around overcoming resistance, building commitment, and embedding new behaviors into the organizational culture.

In project planning, the slide supports the development of detailed action plans aligned with each ADKAR element. It guides the creation of communication strategies, training modules, and reinforcement activities to ensure successful change adoption. The visual nature of the slide makes it easy to incorporate into broader change management frameworks or dashboards.
