A change impact assessment used to take me the best part of a day. Gathering the information, structuring it, theming the impacts, rating severity, writing it up so it's actually ready for a steering group.

In this solo episode, I walk through exactly how I now build a CIA using AI and my own READ Prompt Model (Role, End goal, Audience, Details) turning raw workshop notes into a themed, severity-rated impact table in under an hour.

I also cover the part that matters most: what AI can't do for you. Why the human check validating ratings with your project team, spotting gaps, stripping out anything speculative — is what makes an AI-assisted CIA reliable enough to put in front of a steering group.

If you're a change manager, transformation professional, or programme lead curious about using AI in your day-to-day deliverables, this one's for you.

In this episode, Rochelle from Tech Biz Toolkit dives into one of the most critical (and often underestimated) areas of change management — stakeholder engagement.

You’ll learn how to identify the people who can make or break your change initiative, assess their power and interest, and develop a plan to keep them aligned and informed.

Rochelle breaks down the three core stakeholder groups — Decision Makers, Influencers, and Impacted Users — and shares practical techniques for building trust, managing resistance, and creating an engagement plan that evolves as your project progresses.

If you’re leading organisational change, transformation, or digital programmes, this episode will help you turn stakeholder theory into actionable strategy.

🎧 Key Takeaways:

• Stakeholder engagement isn’t a tick-box exercise — it’s essential for lasting change.
• Map stakeholders by power and interest using the Stakeholder Matrix.
• Build trust: it’s the real currency of influence.
• Don’t assume hierarchy equals influence.
• Revisit and update your stakeholder map regularly as roles evolve.
• Link your stakeholder plan directly to your communication strategy.
