How to run it
- Define amplitude - how significant the change is to ways of working, technology, roles, or behaviour.
- Define scope - how broadly the change affects teams, customers, systems, or processes.
- Place each initiative in the matrix and size the change response accordingly.
Common mistake
Do not underestimate amplitude just because the change looks like a simple system upgrade.
Output
A change-management approach decision: light-touch, managed change, or major transformation.
