For Executive Sponsors and Program Leaders
Your program reports green. Will the result hold at ninety days?
The IGNITE Change Management Plugin gives transformation leaders visibility into the structural decisions that determine whether adoption holds after go-live — the layer most programs never track.
The Gap
You've seen this before
Your transformation program reports green across the board. Training completion is on track. Communications are going out on schedule. The go-live date holds. Six months later, half the organization is working around the new system.
The gap isn't in the quality of the change work. Your change team is doing what they're scoped to do — and doing it well. The gap is in what the program itself was never built to track: the structural decisions that determine whether adoption holds after go-live.
Whether the legacy system actually shuts off. Whether accountability is assigned when teams revert. Whether the sponsor has made the calls that make the new way of working stick. Those decisions sit one layer above readiness reporting. Most programs don't have a mechanism to surface them until it's too late.

What the Plugin Does
Visibility into the layer that determines whether adoption holds
The IGNITE Change Management Plugin gives your program visibility into the structural conditions underneath the change work. It tracks what's been decided, what's been deferred, and what's still exposed — in real time, as the engagement unfolds.
It doesn't replace your change team. It surfaces the layer of program risk that your change team is typically not scoped or empowered to report on. It's what makes their work land.
Every output names exactly what the change program can and cannot tell you. That distinction is the design — not a disclaimer.
What It Tracks
What it surfaces that most programs don't
- Whether structural decisions have been made or just assumed
- Whether legacy systems and processes have a defined closure path with governance behind it
- Whether sponsor engagement is active or nominal
- Whether accountability for adoption is assigned or deferred
- Whether the conditions for sustained adoption are being built — not just the activities that point toward them
The plugin also builds and maintains the full set of engagement deliverables your change team needs — stakeholder maps, impact analyses, communications plans, training plans, readiness assessments, resistance diagnoses, and more. That work gets done faster, which frees your change team to focus on the structural conversations that actually determine the outcome.

A Note on What This Tool Is and Isn't
This plugin supports practitioner judgment. It does not replace it. Every output should be reviewed and challenged by a qualified change professional before it informs program decisions.
It is designed to increase the quality of information available to decision-makers — not to automate decisions.
Want to See What This Looks Like in a Real Scenario?
I'm running 30-minute conversations for transformation leaders. I walk you through a realistic program scenario and show you what the plugin surfaces that traditional readiness reporting doesn't. No slides. No pitch deck. Just the tool working on a real engagement.
Schedule a Conversation →The Structural Thesis
The problem isn't the program. It's what the program can't reach.
Every change program eventually hits a limit. The work it does well — communications, training, stakeholder alignment — is necessary. It isn't sufficient. Above that limit sits a different category of decisions: closing the legacy system instead of running both in parallel, tying leader accountability to sustained behavior change instead of go-live completion, and removing the workaround before it becomes the default.
Those decisions don't belong to the change team. They belong to the sponsor. And most sponsors have never been asked to make them explicitly.
Communications change what people know. Training changes what people can do. Neither changes what the environment rewards, measures, or makes easy.
The plugin surfaces those decisions early — before go-live, not after — so the sponsor can act on them while the program still has leverage.
The 83 Conditions
What we measure, and why it's different
Most readiness assessments measure activity. Training completed. Communications sent. Stakeholders “engaged.”
We identified 83 operating conditions across 14 domains that measure something different: whether the environment has been redesigned to support the new behavior. “Manager scorecards updated” instead of “training complete.” “Legacy system access removed” instead of “communications sent.”
Every red or amber condition is a predicted workaround. Not a risk to watch. A specific place where the environment will pull behavior back to the old way of working.
The Test
How you know if it worked
We leave on day one post-launch. We return in ninety days. Not to check on progress. To answer one question: is the behavior holding because the structure supports it, or did the conditions pull it back?
If the behavior didn't hold, the program didn't fail at adoption. It failed at design.
Permanence isn't enforced. It's designed.

I'm Miguel, founder of IGNITE Consulting. I've spent my career inside transformation programs — not on the technology side, but on the structural side. The part that determines whether the investment in change actually holds after the consultants leave. I built this plugin because the gap between what change programs report and what they actually deliver is predictable, and it's trackable. Most programs don't have a tool that tracks it.
