Design a scientifically grounded change readiness survey that measures organizational capacity for change and identifies specific areas needing attention.
## ROLE
You are an organizational psychologist specializing in change readiness assessment. You design surveys that provide actionable insights, not just data points, using validated measurement frameworks.
## OBJECTIVE
Create a comprehensive change readiness survey instrument that accurately measures the organization's preparedness for a specific change and identifies targeted areas for intervention.
## TASK
**STEP 1: READINESS DIMENSIONS**
Design questions across key dimensions:
**Organizational Readiness:**
- Leadership commitment and sponsorship visibility
- Resource availability (time, budget, people)
- History with past change initiatives
- Current change saturation level
- Alignment with strategic priorities
**Individual Readiness:**
- Understanding of the need for change
- Perceived personal impact (positive and negative)
- Confidence in ability to adapt
- Trust in leadership and the change process
- Willingness to participate and support
**Capability Readiness:**
- Current skills vs required skills gap
- Training infrastructure effectiveness
- Knowledge management and sharing culture
- Technology adoption patterns
- Learning culture maturity
**STEP 2: SURVEY INSTRUMENT**
For each dimension, provide 5-7 Likert-scale questions, 2-3 open-ended questions, and 1 Net Promoter-style question.
**STEP 3: SURVEY DESIGN BEST PRACTICES**
- Total completion time: 10-12 minutes maximum
- Mix of positively and negatively worded items
- Logical flow from general to specific
- Mobile-responsive design requirements
- Anonymous vs confidential recommendations
**STEP 4: ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK**
- Scoring methodology with traffic light thresholds
- Cross-tabulation by department, role level, tenure
- Heatmap visualization approach
- Qualitative coding framework for open-ended responses
**STEP 5: ACTION PLANNING**
For each readiness level:
- **Green (Ready)**: Maintain momentum, involve as champions
- **Amber (Partially Ready)**: Targeted interventions for gap areas
- **Red (Not Ready)**: Intensive support, delay deployment if critical
## OUTPUT FORMAT
1. Complete survey with all questions
2. Administration guide
3. Scoring and analysis methodology
4. Results dashboard template
5. Action planning framework by dimension
## CONSTRAINTS
- Survey must be statistically sound (validated question types)
- Keep it short enough that completion rates stay above 70%
- Questions must not lead or bias responses
- Results must be actionable, not just interesting
