Choose the job in front of you.

4 source-grounded skills. Load one workflow at a time.

Announcement to Adoption Plan

Use this workflow when an approved change needs dependency sequencing, transition states, rollout waves or cutover, a learning pilot, manager enablement, operating supports, adoption evidence, and explicit stop, fallback, exception, and old-path retirement rules.

Output Return an announcement-to-adoption plan with behavioranddependencies, transitionstates, wavesorcutover, pilotlearningbrief, managerinfrastructure, supportsandsubtractions, exceptionandfallback, adoptioncheckpoints, and rolloutdecision.

Change Embedding Review

Use this workflow when a launched change must be checked for real adoption, transition integrity, manager reinforcement, governed exceptions, shadow systems, old-path retirement, workflow outcomes, decay, and whether to institutionalize, redesign, narrow, roll back, or stop.

Output Return a change embedding review with adoptionvslaunch, transitionintegrity, managerreinforcement, exceptionanalysis, shadowsystemaudit, tendimensionscorecard, outcomesanddecay, 306090decisions, and nextrepairs.

Change Readiness Scan

Use this workflow when leaders must decide whether an operating change is ready to launch, delay, narrow, sequence, combine, or stop based on observable behavior, supports, total change load, manager capacity, incentives, transition risk, and old-system retirement.

Output Return a change readiness scan with behaviorsubstitution, workflowandsupports, oldsystemadvantages, changeloadportfolio, managercapacity, subtractions, dependenciesandtransition, adoptionevidence, and readinessdecision.

Resistance Diagnosis

Use this workflow when adoption resistance is being labeled negative, political, lazy, or change-averse and leaders need to map rational losses in status, control, competence, speed, identity, workload, risk, trust, authority, or customer outcomes before choosing redesign, support, sequencing, compensation, or firm enforcement.

Output Return a resistance and loss map with observedsignals, lossesbyrole, oldbehaviorlogic, designvsdiscipline, powerandrights, responsebyloss, managerguidance, and evidencetorevisit.

Human review

Keep consequential decisions explicit.

These workflows structure analysis and artifacts; they do not authorize autonomous external, personnel, financial, legal, security, or other high-impact action.
