This document contains a template for identifying and managing risks and barriers associated with change management processes. It includes sections for listing risks with details like risk number, description, potential impact level, mitigation actions, approval and commencement dates. Additional sections provide templates for assessing resistance levels to the change, analyzing risk levels and barriers, and creating a resistance management plan with key areas of resistance and responsible personnel. The overall document provides a framework and tools for systematically identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks, barriers and resistance related to organizational changes.

4. Resistance Assessment Survey
Below is a list of potential areas for resistance that you maybe experiencing in the implementation of the SLM project. For each area
indicate the degree to which you agree or disagree by placing your response in the box from the following scale
Assess the scores individually & highlight any scores that are greater than three. This area should
then become your primary focus for the greatest resistance to your project
1 (Strongly disagree) 2 (Disagree) 3 (Neither agree or disagree) 4 (Agree) 5 ( Strongly Agree)
Areas of Resistance Description Rating
Lack of understanding of the purpose & drivers for the changes
There may be a lack of understanding of the purpose of the project
There maybe lack of awareness of the need for the change to occur
Feeling of loosing control People support what they have helped to create. If they feel they have had not sufficient support, resistance usually
Lack of support from the various levels in the organization
If people perceive that key individuals or groups in their area are not genuinely supportive of the project, their acceptance is
difficult to secure
Feel there is a real threat to my existing power, job security or personal
& career goals
Resistance is increased if people believe they do not possess the skills or the ability for optimal performance during and after
the change
Concerns about a lack of skills & knowledge
People may distrust or dislike sponsors or change agents or have had negative experiences around change a lack of
acceptance & enthusiasm for the change will quickly materialize
High level of impact on daily work patterns
Failure to acknowledge and if possible, minimise the impact of project teams activities & changes on people work patterns
tends t promote distrust and alienation
Lack of time to absorb the changes The ability of staff to assimilate the change and all its consequences must be assessed
High level of uncertainty Sometimes just the uncertainness of the situation can make people react negatively
Adverse changes to key working relationships Adversely affecting the way they relate to others or who they work with or two report to
High level of past resentments & dislikes
People may distrust or dislike sponsors or change agents or have negative experiences around change a lack of acceptance
& enthusiasm for the change will quickly materialise
Lack of incentives & rewards
Change involves learning and learning usually involves errors. We people are not given the freedom while learning they
become afraid
People need to be rewarded for accomplishing the change in the form of something they truly value
For the smooth
implementation of
change, it is important to
identify all the barriers.
