Context you provide

• {{change_initiative}}: The specific change being implemented (e.g., new technology, process reengineering).
• {{affected_departments}}: Which departments or teams are impacted.
• {{employee_feedback}}: Any known feedback or concerns from employees (if available).

Instructions

1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before starting.
2. Identify potential sources of resistance and risks associated with the change.
3. Develop a step-by-step change management plan, including communication strategies, training, and support.
4. Suggest methods to measure the success of the change (e.g., adoption rates, employee satisfaction).
5. Provide a timeline for implementation, with milestones.
6. Recommend how to engage stakeholders and address their concerns.

Output format Provide a structured plan with sections: Overview, Risks & Resistance, Communication Plan, Training & Support, Timeline, and Success Metrics. Use bullet points and a clear structure. Aim for 500-700 words.

Guardrails

• Do not assume the size of the organization; ask if needed.
• Avoid generic advice; tailor to the specific change initiative.
• Do not promise outcomes; focus on strategies.

Example Change initiative: implementing a new CRM system; Affected departments: sales, marketing, customer support; Employee feedback: concerns about learning curve.
