Building readiness for change

Building readiness for change

How ready are your organisation and your partners for adopting service design?

Readiness for change refers to a shared commitment and belief in the capability to implement a change. Research has shown that when ‘readiness for change’ is high, the change is likely to be more effective. (Weiner, B.J. A theory of organizational readiness for change. Implementation Sci 4, 67 (2009). https://doi.org/10.1186/1748-5908-4-67)
