In development
From initiative
to change plan.
Change First Studio is a digital change planning platform for people leading change. It turns the details of your initiative into a structured plan you can review, edit and put to work.
Build the case for change, map stakeholders, assess readiness, and plan communication, learning and follow-through. Five guided moves keep the people side of change in view.

The planning workflow
Build the plan.
One move at a time.
Each move develops part of your change plan, from a clear case for change to the actions that sustain it. Explore the questions and plan components below.
Move 1 of 5
What needs to change, and why?
Get clear on the problem, the scope, the sponsor and what success would look like.
- What will people actually do differently?
- Who owns the decision to move ahead?
- What would tell us the change is working?
Move 2 of 5
Whose work is about to change?
Look beyond the project team. Understand who is affected, how their work changes and whose voice is missing.
- Who is affected, directly or indirectly?
- Who needs a voice before decisions are made?
- Who do people turn to when they have questions?
Move 3 of 5
What is the hesitation telling you?
Listen for competing priorities, practical constraints and concerns that the plan needs to address.
- What is the team already carrying?
- What could people lose or struggle with?
- What needs to be resolved before the next step?
Move 4 of 5
What will help people do this well?
Plan the conversations, learning, decisions and support people need to work differently.
- Who needs to hear what, from whom?
- What do people need to practise?
- Where will they get help when the work changes?
Move 5 of 5
What happens after the launch?
Agree how to check adoption, listen to feedback and respond when the new way of working starts to slip.
- Who will check how the change is working?
- What evidence will they look at?
- How will the team raise and resolve difficulties?
Your context shapes the plan. Review each draft and refine it with what you learn from the people affected.
