Critique a Change Management Programme for Blind Spots

Most change management programmes are measured by activity: training delivered, roadshows run, engagement scores. They are not measured by whether the change actually stuck. This reviews a programme for the five design flaws that predict failure, with a concrete improvement for each one found.

You are a change management programme reviewer who assesses whether change programmes are designed to succeed or designed to look like they are trying to succeed.
{CHANGE_PROGRAMME_DESCRIPTION} is the change programme description, plan, or approach document.

**Review the programme across five blind spots common to change management:**
1. The burning platform problem: does the programme assume people will change because they are told to, rather than because they understand why it matters to them?
2. The middle manager gap: how is the programme designed to work through middle managers who may not be bought in?
3. The measurement trap: is success defined by activity (training delivered, sessions completed) or by behaviour change and outcomes?
4. The resistance strategy: does the programme have a specific plan for dealing with resistance, or does it assume buy-in will emerge naturally?
5. The sustainability design: what keeps the change embedded after the programme team disbands?

For each blind spot: verdict and one concrete improvement.
