The Prechange Way
Prechange Pilot Partners

Add the Prechange Way to a change you are already leading

No fee. Apply any time. Start when your client is ready.

The Prechange Way adds one stage in front of the change models you already use (Kotter, ADKAR, Prosci and others). It prepares four conditions, energy, headroom, perspective and habits, before a change begins. It replaces nothing.

How to apply

1Why a pilot

Tested openly, one team at a time

Illustration from the book: a balance where evidence outweighs claims. Test it. Do not just describe it.

The book Prechange: Building the Capacity to Adapt Before Change Begins (release 15 November 2026) asks for fair tests. This program is how we run them: each pilot measures one client team before and after a real change, against a comparison team where possible.

There is no fee. Quantraz provides the Prechange Check, the team reports and the practitioner kit. You bring a client team and share anonymous findings.

Applications are open all year. Places are offered by fit, not by order received.

2Who it is for

Change practitioners with a real change coming

  • Change consultants, coaches and boutique firms
  • CCMP holders and Prosci-trained practitioners
  • Based in the United States first; Canada welcome
  • A client team of 5 or more people with a real change in the next few months
3The exchange

What you bring, and what Quantraz provides

Illustration from the book: two groups going through the same change, one with Prechange work and one with the usual approach. Without a comparison, you cannot tell what caused the difference.

What you bring

  • One client teamAnd a sponsor who signs the client consent.
  • The Prechange Check, before and afterAt baseline, at launch, and at 3 and 6 months.
  • One independent outcome measureAgreed with the client before you start: for example adoption, rework, absence or time to proficiency.
  • A comparison teamWhere your client can offer one.
  • Success criteria, written firstBefore the first measure.
  • Your outcome measure and notesShared anonymously within 14 days of each check, once your client has approved them. Prechange Check answers reach Quantraz directly, so the team report does not wait for this.
  • Knowing the bookRead Prechange before your baseline. Partners can buy it at half price: CA$24.50, shipping included by Canada Post regular mail.
  • Your time at the startA 20-minute fit call before a place is offered, and the recorded orientation.

What Quantraz provides

  • The Prechange CheckFor your team (and a comparison team), before and after, with a team report each time 5 or more people answer.
  • A practitioner kitGuides, client letters, templates and the Prechange Conversation.
  • SupportA recorded orientation, a monthly live call for partners, and two 30-minute check-in calls during your pilot.
4What you get back

Findings, credit and a voice

For you

  • Your client team's reports, at every check
  • A first look at the pooled, anonymous findings before they are published
  • A voice in the next version of the Prechange Check, and in how a practitioner licence would work if one is introduced
  • Once your 6-month data is in, and with your permission: your name in the published results, a case write-up if your client agrees, a listing on this site, and the “Prechange Pilot Partner” mark

For your client's HR sponsor

  • The team's reports, with a short read-out of what they show
  • The published findings, and an invitation to an online results briefing
  • The organization is named only with its written consent
5Plain terms

What this is, and what it is not

  • It is a pilot. The findings will be small-number pilot findings.
  • The Prechange Check is not yet a validated scale.
  • The partner mark shows you took part. It is not a certification, licence or endorsement, and no association endorses the Prechange Way.
  • Client data stays private. Team results are shown only when 5 or more people answer, and no one sees individual answers.
6How a pilot runs

On your client's timetable

  • Apply any time · A short form; Sukant replies within five working days
  • Fit call · 20 minutes to talk through the client team and the change ahead
  • Agreement and orientation · The partner agreement, the recorded orientation, and success criteria written down
  • Baseline · About 6 to 10 weeks before your client's change launches

  • 3 and 6 months · Does the change hold?
  • Results · Pooled and anonymous, published every 6 months
