What the scan is
A systematic, fact-based instrument based on twelve validated success and failure factors — developed from the analysis of hundreds of change projects.
Based on the analysis of hundreds of Black Belt and Green Belt projects. Together, they largely determine the success or failure of any transition.
Each factor is measured through five concrete statements. The scoring is individual and independent — completely free from group pressure or mutual influence.
The outcome is a readily understandable radar chart that illustrates the organization's strengths and identifies areas of vulnerability and risk.
No subjective impressions — quantitative scores on validated statements form the basis for collective interpretation and intervention choices.
Strategic inconsistencies, unexpressed disagreements, and priority conflicts become apparent before they can jeopardize the project.
Developed by Arnold Bosch, refined over decades of Executives' guidance.

Two half-days, one clear starting point
Individual Positioning
- Each board member scores independently of the others
- Sixty propositions divided among twelve strategic factors
- Mutual differences and commonalities become visible
- No group pressure — scores are purely individual
Confrontation & Prioritization
- The visual force field is interpreted collectively
- Patterns and blind spots are brought to light and discussed
- Interventions are determined based on facts
- Outcome: shared insight and a roadmap for action
The scan is not an end in itself — it fosters decisiveness and serves as the direct starting point for targeted actions within the organization.
What the scan delivers
-
✓Executive Alignment Creates a common starting point — everyone reviews the same facts before decisions are made and investments are committed.
-
✓Early Identification of Risks Vulnerabilities and dangerous assumptions are identified in advance — not midway through a project when course correction is costly.
-
✓Clear Intervention Priorities Avoid wasting time and budget on misdirected efforts. The scan precisely indicates where intervention will have the greatest impact.
-
✓Addressing Unspoken Tensions Disagreements within the executive board are objectively brought to light without loss of face — and subsequently addressed.
-
✓Two half-days instead of weeks What normally requires a lengthy intake and reporting process, the Change Profile Scan condenses into two focused half-days with immediately actionable results.
-
✓Not just another report to file away The scan is not an analytical tool—it empowers decision-making and serves as the immediate starting point for targeted actions within the organization.
Added Value for Executives, Boards & Management Teams
“Globally, over 70% of all change projects fail” — McKinsey & Company / John Kotter. The Change Profile Scan significantly increases the likelihood of success by focusing on the factors that determine success from the outset.
Vulnerabilities and risks become visible before any investment is made. Executives are aware of potential pitfalls — and can proactively prevent them.
Change initiatives incur costs ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of euros. Two half-days significantly increase the likelihood that this investment will yield actual returns.
The fact-based approach facilitates discussion of unspoken disagreements without loss of face — leading to shared priorities.
With a validated baseline measurement, executives demonstrate to supervisory bodies that the transition is being approached in a substantiated and data-driven manner.
Two half-days deliver both executive alignment and an intervention roadmap. Months of uncertainty are compressed into one clear starting point.
