Claim:
An analytical method of providing change management statistics in an organization which includes a plurality of individuals and machines, said method comprising the steps of: creating one or more surveys from a computerized data base comprising a plurality of questions relating to change management subjects of Planning, Execution of the planning and Persons responsible for the execution of the planning, wherein said questions on Planning relate to vision, strategy and desired results, said questions on Execution relate to readiness, ambition, knowledge, ability and momentum, and said questions on Persons relate to conditioning, fear, trust and inductivity, and further, the questions relate to a general opinion relating to an entire organization and to a specific opinion relating to a respondent individual of the organization; obtaining, by a computer, responses from the individuals in the organization to the plurality of questions relating to the general and specific opinions, wherein each obtained response ranges from 0 (zero) to 5 (five) wherein 0 is equivalent to “Do Not Know” and responses ranging from 1 to 5 indicate disagreement to agreement with the survey question; the specifically configured and programmed computer calculating a weighted average of the specific and general responses wherein the average weighted specific response is used to further create the Specific Element Scores, by the computer, the Specific Element Scores having an assigned weight of the average weight of the specific responses to the at least one question relating to the specific opinion, and the average weighted general response is used to further create the General Element Scores by a computer specifically configured and programmed for the purpose, the General Element Scores having an assigned weight of the average weight of the general responses to the at least one question relating to the general opinion; and the specifically configured and programmed computer computing a plurality of indexes using the numerical values relating to at least two of the subjects, said plurality of indexes comprising: a Specific Planning Composite Index comprising a weighted average of the Specific Element Scores of the vision, strategy, and desired results elements; a General Planning Composite Index comprising a weighted average of the General Element Scores of the vision, strategy and desired results subjects; and a Planning Composite Index Delta, computed by subtracting the General Planning Composite index from the Specific Planning Composite Index.
