HUMAN IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Understand what change means to people.
Change affects more than processes, systems and roles. Engrafo helps uncover how transformation may affect people’s work, capability, identity, autonomy and experience — identifying potential impacts, risks and sources of resistance, and what people may need to navigate the transition successfully.
WHAT TO EXPECT
From impact to internalisation.
The Human Impact Assessment provides a deeper understanding of how change will affect people — not only what is changing for them, but what that change means to them. It combines an assessment of the conventional and practical change impacts with a deeper exploration of the human experience of transition. We look beneath the surface to understand what people may experience as being disrupted or lost — including certainty, belonging, established norms, assumptions and professional self-concept. Importantly, the assessment does not stop at disruption. It identifies opportunities for reconstruction and internalisation: helping people develop new identities, capabilities, skills and sources of mastery and contribution within the future state. The result is a richer diagnostic of the human consequences of transformation — identifying transition risks, sources of resistance, reconstruction opportunities and the targeted interventions needed to support successful adoption.
Our Human Impact Assessment looks at change through four lenses:
-
Conventional and practical change impacts: process | technology | roles and functions | skills | behaviour | structure | location | policy
-
Meaning impact dimensions (today): identity | autonomy | mastery | status | contribution | relationships | agency
-
Disruption impact dimensions (what they lose): loss | certainty | belonging | established norms | assumptions | professional self-concept
-
Reconstruction / internalisation opportunities (possible tomorrow): new identity | new capability | new sources of contribution | new sources of mastery | new skills
