Diagnostic Suite Overview
A complete system for measuring and developing organisational readiness.
The Change Gym® diagnostic suite is a coherent, multi‑layered system that helps organisations understand how ready they are for change — strategically, structurally, behaviourally, and individually. Each diagnostic plays a distinct role, and together they form a complete readiness architecture.
The Readiness Architecture
Readiness operates across four interconnected layers:
Strategic Layer
Assesses the organisation’s ability to absorb and execute strategy without losing alignment or momentum.
Structural Layer
Examines the systems, leadership practices, and organisational coherence that support readiness.
Behavioural Layer
Reveals how people cycle through readiness states during change — acceleration, resistance, fatigue, or momentum.
Individual Layer
Explores the capability, openness, and variability of individuals as they respond to change.
This layered approach ensures that readiness is understood as a system, not an event.
The Six Diagnostics
Coherence Diagnostic
A deep structural assessment of alignment, clarity, and organisational coherence. Ideal for transformation, restructuring, and strategic reset work.
Strategic Readiness Survey (SRS)
A fast, executive‑level snapshot of strategic capability and openness. Perfect for leadership teams needing a quick, high‑level readiness position.
Leadership Readiness Diagnostic (LRD)
Assesses the leadership architecture that enables strategic readiness. Used with senior teams to identify strengths, gaps, and development priorities.
Cycling Diagnostic
Measures behavioural patterns that accelerate or block readiness momentum. Essential for understanding change fatigue, resistance, and engagement cycles.
Individual Readiness Diagnostic (IRD)
Evaluates individual capability and openness across seven readiness domains. Ideal for coaching, development, and team‑level insight.
IRVEY
Assesses individual variability — how people differ in their readiness responses. Supports tailored interventions and personalised development pathways.
