Is your change at risk?
Eleven statements, about two minutes. A read on the eleven conditions the Implementation History Assessment measures, and how your organization compares with the IHA benchmark.
The Implementation History Assessment (IHA) is the baseline diagnostic in the Accelerating Implementation Methodology. It measures the climate your organization brings to a change, based on how change has actually gone here before, so a project can plan for the conditions it is entering instead of assuming a clean start.
Interpreting Your Readiness Assessment
The vertical line on each bar is the IHA benchmark for that factor, drawn from more than 30 years of Implementation History Assessment data. Scores run on the IHA index from 20 to 100, where 40, 60 and 80 are average answers of 2, 3 and 4. Bands are the instrument's own: Very low below 40, Low 40 to 60, Moderate 60 to 80, High above 80.

What this is, and what it is not.
This pulse check is an indicative short form. One statement per factor, answered by one person, scored in your browser.
The full IHA is a different thing. It is run across a population rather than answered alone, sponsors, agents and the people affected by the change answer separately so you can see where they disagree, and it produces a scored baseline you can act on, defend to a steering group, and re-measure later to show movement.
We have been analyzing data back to 1995. The benchmark your answers are scored against is the baseline that analysis produced.

About the pulse check
What is a change readiness assessment?
A change readiness assessment measures whether an organization and its people are prepared to adopt a specific change. It looks at sponsorship, clarity, capacity, reinforcement and history to show where adoption is most likely to stall. This page is a quick self-check; IMA Worldwide's scored instruments give the full read.
What is the Implementation History Assessment (IHA)?
The IHA is IMA Worldwide's baseline diagnostic. It scores the climate an organization brings to a change, based on how change has actually gone there before, so a project can plan for the conditions it is entering rather than assume a clean start.
Is the pulse check the same as the full IHA?
No. The pulse check is an indicative short form with one statement per factor, answered by one person. The full IHA is run across a population, with sponsors, agents and the people affected by the change answering separately, and produces a defensible scored baseline you can act on and re-measure.
How long does the pulse check take?
About two minutes. There are eleven statements, each rated from strongly disagree to strongly agree, and the result is calculated in your browser.
What does a low factor score mean?
Each factor is scored on the IHA index, which runs from 20 to 100 and is the average of answers given on a 1 to 5 scale. An index of 40 means people answered 2 on average, 60 means 3, and 80 means 4. The instrument's own bands are Very low below 40, Low from 40 to 60, Moderate from 60 to 80 and High above 80. So a Low score means people on average landed between disagree and neutral on that factor. That tells you where adoption is most likely to be lost on your next change, and which AIM playbook addresses it.
Turn a hypothesis into a baseline.
The pulse check tells you where to look. The IHA tells you how far the gap actually runs, across the whole population, in numbers you can take to a steering group.
