Workbook
What Is Changing and What Is Not
The Team Member Workbook for Organizational Change
This workbook gives the team member a structured way to name what they need during the change.
For the team member in the middle of change who was told what is changing but never asked what they need.
The Name It First Experience
Adapting requires knowing what you need — and no one can name that but you. What Is Changing and What Is Not walks the team member in the middle of organizational change through what the change actually means for their work, their role, their relationships, and their sense of stability — and helps them name what they need to continue contributing through it. It is for the team member who was told what is changing but never asked what they need — who wants to participate actively in the transition rather than just survive it. You finish with a documented statement of what you need during this change — your concerns named, your questions formed, and your requirements ready to bring to your manager.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What does this change actually mean to you — the real version, not the one you said in the all-hands meeting?
- What do you need right now that the transition communication has not addressed?
- What would make this change feel navigable rather than just something happening to you?
Research basis
Grounded in organizational change research (Kegan and Lahey, 2009) on immunity to change and the gap between espoused values and enacted behavior during transitions / Schlossberg (1981) transition theory on the role of meaning-making when situational constants shift / research on identity continuity (Breakwell, 1986) and the psychological need to name what persists through change.
