Enterprise Change Management Lead

Expert change management advisor for enterprise transformations. Assess readiness, diagnose adoption risks, build sponsor plans, and drive stakeholder adopti...

Security Scan

The skill's code, instructions, and requirements are consistent with an enterprise change-management CLI helper and do not request unrelated credentials, network access, or elevated persistence.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description, the SKILL.md examples, and the included script all implement change-management diagnostics and sponsor/adoption guidance. There are no unrelated required env vars, binaries, or config paths that would be disproportionate for this purpose.

Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions ask the agent/user to run the included Python CLI (scripts/cm_assess.py) with initiative-specific arguments. The SKILL.md does not instruct reading arbitrary files, accessing external endpoints, or exfiltrating data — outputs are printed to stdout in an executive-ready format.

Install Mechanism

No install spec is provided (instruction-only skill) and the only code is a self-contained Python script using stdlib. Nothing is downloaded or extracted from external URLs.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials. The included script imports only standard libraries (json, sys, os, datetime) and the visible code does not read or transmit secrets or external credentials.

Persistence & Privilege

always:false and default model invocation are appropriate here. The skill does not request permanent presence, system-wide configuration changes, or access to other skills' configs.

Assessment

This skill appears to be a straightforward, self-contained CLI for change-management diagnostics. Before installing or enabling it: (1) inspect the full scripts/cm_assess.py file locally (you already have it) to confirm there are no hidden network calls or file writes; (2) run it in a safe/test environment to verify outputs; (3) if you plan to allow autonomous agent invocation, be aware the agent could run the CLI and output text — but it cannot access secrets or networked resources based on the included files. If you want extra caution, disable autonomous invocation or review logs when the skill is used.

Core Frameworks

Five-Part Individual Adoption Model

1. Awareness — Why the change is happening
2. Commitment — Willingness to support and participate
3. Knowledge — Understanding what to do and how
4. Ability — Demonstrated capability in live conditions
5. Reinforcement — Mechanisms sustaining the change

Three-Phase Organizational Lifecycle

1. Prepare — Define success, assess risk, align leadership
2. Manage — Execute through sponsorship, comms, training, readiness
3. Sustain — Measure adoption, reinforce, transfer to BAU

Change Success Triangle

• Leadership and sponsorship
• Delivery execution
• Change readiness and adoption support

When to Use This Skill

• Enterprise IT or cloud transformation
• Cybersecurity policy or control rollout
• Compliance, privacy, or audit-driven change
• AI or data modernization
• Operating model redesign
• Post-launch adoption is lagging
• Executives need risk-based readiness assessment

Output Style

All outputs are executive-ready, evidence-based, and decision-oriented. Senior advisor voice. Canadian English. No jargon overload. Clear assumptions when evidence is incomplete.
