### "Efficiently elicits data driven change insights that will inform better change decision making."

October 1, 2018

5.0

The tool has been a valuable input into conversations and decision making, particularly around the impact of change fatigue and initiative sequencing.

Pros

Enterprise level and granular views of change and heat mapping Easy to use and train end users Visuals and reporting on change at the click of a button Cloud based access.

Cons

Experience has been positive, and company is always receptive to feedback/suggestions.

### "TCC Review"

September 27, 2018

4.0

Since we operate in a large corporate environment, there has been a lot of work to get the entry governance for the compass up to standard. It's taken quite awhile to get up and running in a way that can start to add value for our divisions. Now that the tool is starting to shape up, the heatmap and reporting aspects of the tool are starting to be included in strategic conversations around the change/project load within certain areas of the business and the resourcing behind that.

Pros

\- Entry is simple and easy for end users - All fields of entry are easily adjusted and the hierarchy is simple to setup - The ability to manage the change load and see change 'heat' at both a divisional and sub-divisional level is extremely valuable - The versatility of reporting and filtering adds a lot of value to the insights the tool provides.

Cons

\- Difficult to filter/group multiple initiatives at a program level (Multiple impacts per project, with multiple projects per program) - Often run into bugs and issues with the tool. - Sometimes the tool can be slow to load pages and reports. (May be due to the volume of initiatives entered?) - The 'scale' field is not reflected in the change impact. (i.e There doesn't appear to be a difference between a level 5 change impacting 20 people and 2000 people)

### "Not for me "

April 6, 2021

2.0

Overall, I really was not a fan and would not recommend this to anyone in the space I work in (agile software development) as UI is so important for a user and this software doesn’t have a very friendly or appealing one.

Pros

I really liked that it was specific to change management and covered off all the features you would want for a robust and complex change programme for the enterprise

Cons

It’s very clunky and has a very complex UI. I dont find it very intuitive and the amount of information you have to fill out is overwhelming. To get it into a valuable state a significant amount of investment would need to be put in

### "Forward planning works "

September 27, 2018

5.0

Better planning in the delivery of change to the business units. Ability to develop change maturity

Pros

It has a lot of good functionality and is easy to use

Cons

How easy is it to override entries ? I'm not sure how locked down it is and have heard that an entry can be easily changed

### "Easy to use platform that has the potential to drive meaningful conversation"

October 2, 2018

4.0

We're using the Change Compass to map out where change is impacting our business and to monitor the "heat" it's causing to our workforce. It's a great conversation starter between business leaders and a key data point that can be used with other operational reporting to prioritise and plan for change impacts.

Pros

The system is online, it doesn't require you download anything to run and its available on all my devices (i.e. laptop, mobile). It's also really easy to get started, requires little explanation to begin data entry of change initiatives and reports in real time.

Cons

Some of the reporting could easily be misconstrued if not discussed in context (eg: the heatmap indicates large amounts of change in red, which can easily be perceived as bad/negative, when in fact they could actually be well received and positive changes). As with any data, it needs context and conversation!
