Question 1

A large public-sector organisation is introducing a new integrated IT system that will change every department's processes, reporting lines, and job roles simultaneously. The change sponsor asks you to characterise this change so the programme board can calibrate its approach. Which type of change best describes the situation?

Developmental change, because it improves existing ways of working Transitional change, because it moves the organisation from a known current state to a defined future state Transformational change, because the full destination cannot be defined upfront and the organisation itself will be reshaped Incremental change, because the IT system can be deployed one module at a time

Correct Answer:

Transformational change, because the full destination cannot be defined upfront and the organisation itself will be reshaped

Question 2

During a change readiness assessment, the change manager discovers that staff survey scores show high levels of anxiety and a sense of loss around familiar processes, but most employees intellectually understand why the change is necessary. Using the Kubler-Ross change curve, where are the majority of staff?

Denial — they do not yet accept that change is real Anger — they are blaming others for the disruption Depression — they are experiencing the emotional low of loss and anxiety before moving to acceptance Acceptance — because they understand the rationale, they have already moved past the curve

Correct Answer:

Depression — they are experiencing the emotional low of loss and anxiety before moving to acceptance

Question 3

A retail company is restructuring its supply chain. Senior leaders have approved the business case and set the vision, but middle managers are not reinforcing the change in team briefings and are reverting to old approval workflows. Which role accountability is most clearly failing?

Change manager — for not communicating the vision widely enough Sponsor — for failing to resource the change adequately Line manager — for not role-modelling and reinforcing new behaviours in daily operations Change agent — for not identifying resistance at the grassroots level
