aimed at successfully effecting change. These tools support the application of other initiatives

 In addition, the progress of the change initiative can be measured against the objectives
set by the organization (Downey, 2008). The said objectives will be measured by the key
performance indicators (KPIs) which include reducing rework by x%, improving in stakeholder
satisfaction, for example, customer/employee surveys, reducing time to market, enhanced
