Transformation Readiness Diagnostic
Readiness Diagnostic Sprint for ERP, CRM, AI and Transformation Programs
The Transformation Readiness Diagnostic is a focused ReadinessCompass sprint for ERP, CRM, AI and operating-model transformations where adoption risk matters before go-live. Your system may be technically ready while the organization is not yet ready to adopt it. This Readiness Diagnostic Sprint helps transformation leaders detect people-side adoption risk early and turn unclear risk into concrete mitigation priorities and a practical 30/60/90-day action plan.
Built for transformation leaders who need adoption evidence before go-live, not another generic change checklist.
Who the sprint is for
A focused engagement for leaders who need a clearer view of people-side delivery risk and a practical route to action.
Transformation leaders
Preparing for ERP, CRM, AI, or operating-model change where adoption readiness matters to go-live success.
PMOs and programme teams
Needing sponsor-ready readiness evidence that connects people risk to delivery, value, and governance decisions.
Change leaders
Explaining adoption risk without vague change jargon and turning weak signals into clear mitigation priorities.
Business owners
Facing resistance, workarounds, unclear ownership, or uncertainty about whether teams can operate after go-live.
Typical situations where the sprint helps
The sprint is most useful when leaders sense risk but the available evidence is fragmented, optimistic, or difficult to act on.
If you are still defining the readiness questions, start with the change readiness assessment guide before requesting a sprint.
- Approaching go-live without a confident people-readiness view
- Weak adoption evidence beneath positive project reporting
- Sponsor uncertainty about the most important readiness risks
- Resistance, workarounds, or low trust in the new way of working
- Unclear ownership for adoption actions and escalation
- Training completed, but real adoption still uncertain
- Risks hidden in informal conversations or fragmented reports
What we review
The review combines the most relevant ReadinessCompass tools with available project evidence. You do not need to use every tool.
Change complexity
Assess how behavioural distance, scale, leadership, capacity, and operational criticality shape the people-risk profile. See the change complexity assessment guide.
Impact register
Review which roles, processes, systems, behaviours, and responsibilities change, and whether mitigations have clear owners. Explore the impact and mitigation register.
Stakeholder risk
Identify influence, impact, resistance, trust, and engagement gaps across the groups that can accelerate or stall adoption. Review the stakeholder analysis approach or browse the broader stakeholder analysis resources.
RAID exposure
Test whether key risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies are visible, owned, and connected to adoption outcomes. Use the transformation RAID guide.
Root causes
Separate symptoms from causes behind resistance, process failure, or recurring delivery friction using 5 Why analysis or a Fishbone analysis.
Adoption evidence and readiness signals
Connect survey findings, manager confidence, practice evidence, workarounds, and operational signals into one decision-ready view. Explore the complete diagnostic toolkit.
What you receive
Outputs are designed to support decisions, ownership, and sponsor conversations rather than create another passive report.
Investment
The Transformation Readiness Diagnostic starts from €6,900 net. Most engagements range from €7,900 to €10,900 net, depending on the number of stakeholder groups, interviews, organisational units and required executive output.
On-site travel and accommodation are agreed separately. All prices are net and exclusive of VAT.
How the sprint works
A concise four-step process designed to move from fragmented evidence to a sponsor-ready action narrative.
Scope the transformation context
Review readiness and adoption evidence
Identify risks, root causes, and mitigation priorities
Prepare an executive-ready action narrative

Frequently asked questions
Is this only for ERP projects?
No. The sprint is designed for ERP, CRM, AI, operating-model, and other transformation programs where adoption risk matters.
When is the best time to run the sprint?
The sprint is most useful before go-live, during rollout, or when leaders suspect that training completion does not reflect real adoption readiness.
Do we need to use all ReadinessCompass tools?
No. The sprint uses the most relevant tools and evidence depending on the transformation context.
What is the main output?
The main output is a practical adoption-risk view with mitigation priorities and an executive-ready narrative for sponsors and programme leaders.
Is this a full change management implementation?
No. It is a focused diagnostic sprint. It can inform broader change management, adoption governance, or transformation recovery work.
Make adoption risk visible before it becomes expensive
If your programme is approaching go-live, facing resistance, or lacking clear adoption evidence, the Readiness Diagnostic Sprint can help turn uncertainty into a focused action plan.
