Build internal change management capability
Accelerate adoption of strategic initiatives
Change Accelerator is built on Emergent’s six-phase Accelerating Change & Transformation (ACT) model, which has been honed through use at many Fortune 500 and mid-market companies.
 Plan the Change is about identifying the purpose, scope, and outcomes of the change initiative. The focus is on determining a process that will be used to plan and drive the change effort forward. It’s also here that you will assemble a change team and establish the rules by which that team will operate. |  Create Urgency involves making it clear that the need to change is now and not tomorrow. The focus is on creating a compelling “story” and building a vision of the future that helps generate excitement and true commitment. It’s here you seek to establish a broad desire for change strong enough to overwhelm the collective resistance. | |
 Lead the Change is about ensuring the business sponsors actively engage in the change effort on an on-going basis. The focus is on equipping team members to be change leaders and advocates who can influence others. It’s here that you will align leaders with the “what,” “why,” and “how” of the change initiative. |  Engage the People involves informing all stakeholders and engaging priority stakeholders in the initiative. The focus is on reaching diverse stakeholder audiences through multiple communication channels and events. It’s here that you will ensure stakeholders have the resources and willingness to successfully change. | |
 Align Systems entails establishing reward and incentive systems that promote desired behaviors and actions. The focus is on making sure that management practices are aligned to reinforce the changes. It’s here that you will adjust the necessary organizational elements to deliver sustainable results. |  Sustain the Change is about maintaining a cadence of communications and stakeholder engagement activities. The focus is on highlighting the benefits of the changes and attainment of milestones in highly visible ways. It’s here that you will harness the lessons and best practices from this initiative so that they can be applied to future change efforts. |
The Accelerating Change & Transformation (ACT) model is supported by 60+ downloadable change management tools. The tools include assessments, templates, models, and checklists in Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel, and Word formats. They can be downloaded, edited, and customized to fit your organization’s unique needs. Each tool comes with an instruction document that provides tips and best practices for facilitating its use. That’s more than 120 resources at your fingertips!
Implementation Checklists provide a guide for what change activities to focus on and which tools to use.
Each phase of the Accelerating Change & Transformation (ACT)TM model has a corresponding Implementation Checklist. Each checklist provides a summary of the activities needed to support the phase, along with the recommended tools needed to support the activity. Additionally, check boxes enable you to keep track of which activities that have completed for each phase.
From inside the Implementation Checklist, you can also update and save the Progress and Status for each phase. These updates drive the status on your Dashboard.
Whether you are a project manager, HR professional, or IT business partner, Change Accelerator will help you implement your project on time and on budget. Instantly purchase a Change Accelerator individual license. Or, get Change Accelerator as part of a Change Management Training program for your organization.
The Project Dashboard enables you to easily track and report the progress of your various change initiatives.
Change Accelerator’s Dashboard provides a visual snapshot of each project’s Progress and Health (i.e., effectiveness). The ability to show progress and health of your change efforts is an important aspect of effective project management.
The Project Dashboard report is designed to be easily shared with your project team and sponsors, providing them with an update on your change management effort.
This Dashboard can be updated at any time from the Activity Checklists and Phase Health Checks.
You can add or remove projects from your dashboard using the My Projects feature of Change Accelerator.
My Projects enables you to manage your portfolio of change management projects. It provides a summary of your project(s) and allows you to add, edit, and delete projects.
Chances are you have some of your own tools to help your organization through a transition. While your own resources may have taken you far, Change Accelerator will take your organization even further whether you’re part of a small group of five or a multi-national organization of thousands than with an expansive organizational change approach that has been proven to work.
Get Buy-In from Every Corner
When there are many stakeholders affected by a company initiative, gaining buy-in becomes a critical issue—especially during stressful times.
Change Accelerator will help gain buy-in from every corner of your organization. With any change your organization is facing, Change Accelerator will walk you through the Accelerating Change & Transformation (ACT)TM model, which starts by Plan the Change and ends with Sustain the Change. With this mastered, you will gain the stakeholder buy-in necessary for successful delivery of your strategic initiative and organizational transition.
The goal? Get stakeholders excited about the change and minimize end-user resistance. To overcome time-wasting obstacles, work with your teams to adopt a new way of doing business quickly.
Empower Your People to Excel

During these turbulent times, many individuals within your organization don’t know what to expect or what lies ahead. Without this vision, they lose their confidence in where the organization is headed. This can result in low morale among employees and major dips in productivity.
Many of the tools within Change Accelerator focus on employee engagement and empowering your people to excel during the ambiguity of organizational transitions. Specifically, you’ll learn how to:
