Hi friend,

 

Retail is no stranger to change, but the pace and complexity of today’s transformation are unlike anything we’ve seen. Tariffs and economic uncertainty are squeezing margins. AI is rewriting how decisions are made. Consumer expectations shift with every news cycle. And yet, for many retail organizations, the biggest roadblock to progress isn’t technology or strategy.  It’s people.

 

Here’s the truth:
Even the most innovative initiatives stall when teams have difficulty navigating change and managers are unprepared to lead it. As former retail execs, Parker Avery has driven transformation from the inside out, and we know firsthand the importance of assessing readiness before the next big move.

 

That’s why we created two powerful tools:

 

Organizational Change Readiness Assessment

 Uncover how well your teams are equipped to absorb and embrace change, from communications and accountability to prioritization and support.

TAKE THE CHANGE READINESS ASSESSMENT

Change Leadership Self-Assessment

Gauge your own (or your managers') capabilities to lead change across key leadership behaviors like trust-building, empathy, and execution.

TAKE THE CHANGE LEADERSHIP SELF-ASSESSMENT

Each assessment takes less than 10 minutes and offers a clear view of both strengths and risks.  We also give actionable next steps for each level so you can start immediately to enhance your personal and team's change abilities. 

 

Retail transformation doesn’t fail because of the idea.  It fails when people aren’t aligned, engaged,  or ready. These assessments are your first step in avoiding that.

 

Let’s ensure your team is well-equipped to lead through what’s next.
