ORGANIZATIONAL READINESS ASSESSME

How do you determine organizational readiness to implement change in your practice or organization? Are the individuals committed to making the change? Are they confident in the impact of the change? Are they prepared to face challenges?

The answers to these questions, and others, may provide insight into the readiness of an organization to implement change. Understanding an organization’s readiness provides critical insight into building a team, identifying stakeholders, and ultimately moving forward with a proposed change. As a nurse leader, it will be important to determine the organizational readiness and motivating factors of individuals associated with the organization to implement change.

For this Assignment, complete the Organizational Readiness Form to assist you in determining the readiness for implementing change. Utilizing this form, you will explore the importance of organizational readiness with your team and other stakeholders.
