Change programmes often fail not because the strategy is wrong, but because leaders lack timely insight into how people are actually experiencing change. The Change Progress Meter® provides fast, practical, evidence-based insights into employee experience during change, allowing leaders to address risks early, strengthen engagement, and improve delivery outcomes while change is still underway.

Why the Change Progress Meter?

Clear, real-time insight into change experience

Move beyond lagging indicators like engagement surveys. The Change Progress Meter reveals what people are experiencing now, while there is still time to intervene.

Evidence-based, human-centered measurement

Built on behavioral science and psychology, the tool captures the emotional, cognitive, and practical realities of change, not just sentiment scores.

Actionable insight for leaders and sponsors

Insights are translated into clear themes, risks, and recommendations that leaders can act on immediately, not abstract data dashboards.
