What is Organizational Readiness?
An organization's preparedness to successfully implement and sustain transformation initiatives.
Organizational readiness assesses whether an organization has the leadership support, cultural alignment, resource availability, technical capabilities, and change management capacity to successfully implement transformation initiatives. Low readiness is the primary reason transformations fail — organizations often overestimate their capacity to absorb change. Readiness assessments should evaluate executive sponsorship, middle management buy-in, workforce skills gaps, technology infrastructure, and organizational culture.
