Use this matrix to compare resistance and impetus so you can see where change will stall, where it will spread, and where to intervene.
HIGH RESISTANCE
No change
Discontinuous change
LOW RESISTANCE
Sporadic change
LOW IMPETUS
Continuous change
HIGH IMPETUS
How to run it
- Map initiatives onto a common view of teams, functions, systems, locations, or time.
- Assess where resistance is strongest and where impetus for change already exists.
- Use the matrix to re-sequence, bundle, or redesign initiatives to reduce overload and improve adoption.
Success factor
Look across the whole change landscape – not just single initiatives in isolation.
Output
A clearer change portfolio decision: where to sequence, bundle, pause, or redesign change.
