Enablement & Support
Are people equipped to perform differently, not simply informed or trained?
Measurement & Sustainment
Will leaders know whether adoption is working and who owns it after implementation?
Leadership Rationale & Decisions
Is the case for the restructuring clear, consistent, and defensibly decided?
Role Redesign & Work Redistribution
Is it clear who will do the work after roles change or go away?
People Impact & Fair Treatment

About this transformation
Tell us what you are changing, where you are in the journey, and why the investment matters.
These shape which statements you see, how your results are interpreted, and which next step is recommended.
Leading a restructuring or workforce change?Choose Restructuring or workforce change under What are you changing? and you will receive a dedicated set of statements focused on role redesign, work redistribution, fair treatment, the people who stay, and stabilization. That set has no AI questions.
AI adoption is built into the assessment. Each of the five conditions includes a fourth AI-adoption statement covering governance, workflow design, workforce trust, capability, and responsible-use measurement. If an AI statement does not apply, select N/A.
You are viewing the restructuring set. These statements focus on how roles, work, and people are handled through a restructuring or workforce change. There are no AI statements in this set.
1 = not demonstrated | 5 = consistently demonstrated
Leadership & Purpose
Do leaders share a clear outcome, visible sponsorship, and decision discipline?
Leaders can clearly explain the business outcome this change is intended to improve, why it matters now, and how success will be recognized.
A visible sponsor or sponsor coalition actively reinforces the change, resolves barriers, makes timely decisions, and holds leaders accountable for follow-through.
Leadership expectations, decision ownership, and escalation paths are clear, consistently understood, and reinforced across all affected business areas.
Leaders have agreed where AI should improve work, what decisions remain human-owned, and what guardrails define responsible and acceptable use.
Workflow & Role Clarity
Is the future state clear enough for people to know how work and accountability will change?
Priority current-state and future-state workflows are documented well enough to identify how tasks, handoffs, approvals, and decisions will materially change.
Affected roles have clear future-state responsibilities, decision rights, required skills, and performance expectations, including what work will start, stop, or change.
Critical handoffs, dependencies, exceptions, data needs, and process risks have been identified and assigned before the implementation reaches key milestones.
Roles and workflows explicitly define where AI will assist, automate, or recommend, and where human review, judgment, and accountability are still required.
Workforce Trust & Readiness
Do employees understand the change, feel heard, and have credible local support?
Affected employees understand why the change is happening, what it means for their daily work, what is not changing, and what will be expected of them.
Leaders actively listen for concerns, resistance, missing voices, and readiness signals, and respond visibly enough for employees to see that feedback influences action.
Managers, supervisors, and trusted influencers are engaged early enough to prepare teams, surface local risks, and reinforce adoption where the work actually happens.
Employees understand how AI may affect roles, decisions, data use, performance expectations, and the safeguards being put in place to address legitimate concerns.
Enablement & Support
Are people equipped to perform differently, not simply informed or trained?
Learning and enablement are role-specific, practice-based, and aligned to the real tasks, decisions, scenarios, and behaviors people must perform differently.
Managers have the tools, talking points, practice, time, and escalation support needed to coach teams through resistance, uncertainty, and early performance issues.
Employees know exactly where to go for process, system, policy, or adoption support before and after go-live, including who owns each type of issue.
Users can practice AI-enabled workflows, evaluate the quality of AI outputs, recognize limitations, and know when to escalate, override, or seek human review.
Measurement & Sustainment
Will leaders know whether adoption is working and who owns it after implementation?
Success measures go beyond attendance and completion counts to track behavior, proficiency, utilization, adoption quality, and meaningful business outcomes over time.
Leaders review adoption evidence at defined intervals by role, function, or location and take corrective action when indicators show the organization is moving off track.
Business owners remain accountable after implementation for reinforcement, capability, issue resolution, sustained adoption, and the business outcomes the transformation was intended to deliver.
AI adoption measures include output quality, accuracy, appropriate use, human oversight, risk incidents, and the business impact of AI-enabled work, not just usage volume.
Leadership Rationale & Decisions
Is the case for the restructuring clear, consistent, and defensibly decided?
Leaders can clearly explain why the restructuring is necessary, what business problem it solves, and what the organization will look like afterward.
Decisions about scope, selection criteria, timing, and affected roles are made through a consistent, documented, and defensible process.
Leaders are aligned on the message and will deliver consistent explanations across functions, sites, and levels.
Executive sponsors are visible and accountable for how the restructuring is carried out, not only for approving it.
Role Redesign & Work Redistribution
Is it clear who will do the work after roles change or go away?
The future structure, reporting lines, spans of control, and role responsibilities are defined before announcements are made.
Work performed by departing or eliminated roles has been inventoried and reassigned, retired, or redesigned, so critical tasks do not fall through the cracks.
Remaining employees’ workloads have been assessed so redistributed responsibilities are realistic and sustainable.
Critical knowledge, client relationships, and institutional expertise held by affected employees are identified and have a transfer plan.
People Impact & Fair Treatment
Will affected employees be treated with dignity, clarity, and consistency?
Affected employees will be notified with dignity, clarity, and privacy, and managers are prepared for those conversations.
Transition support such as severance, benefits guidance, outplacement, redeployment, or internal mobility options is defined and communicated clearly.
Legal, HR, and compliance requirements, such as notice periods and consultation obligations, are identified and built into the timeline.
The organization has considered how the restructuring affects different groups and has checked selection decisions for consistency and fairness.
Remaining Workforce Trust & Stability
Will the people who stay trust the path forward and choose to remain?
Communication for the employees who will remain is prepared, so that immediately after the announcement they will understand what is changing for them, what is not, and why the organization is confident in the path forward.
Managers are equipped to address survivor concerns, answer questions honestly, and notice early signs of disengagement or flight risk.
Key talent the organization needs to retain has been identified, and retention conversations or actions are planned.
Leaders have a way to listen for fear, rumor, and morale signals after the announcement and respond visibly.
Continuity & Stabilization
Can the organization keep performing while the new structure settles in?
Operational continuity risks such as service levels, customer or patient impact, safety, and compliance have been assessed, with mitigations in place.
The new structure has a defined stabilization period with clear owners, check-in points, and escalation paths.
Success measures include retention of critical talent, productivity recovery, service quality, and engagement, not only cost savings.
Leaders will review stabilization evidence at defined intervals and adjust roles, workloads, or support when problems emerge.
