What to include in a change management presentation
A simple structure that works for most audiences, mapped to the slides in this deck:
| Part | What goes there | Slide in this deck |
|---|---|---|
| Case for change | Why now, what happens if nothing changes, and the goal in one sentence | Slides 6, 7, 16 |
| Impact and stakeholders | Who is affected, how much, and who sponsors the change | Slides 7, 9, 14 |
| Model or approach | The framework you will follow, such as ADKAR or Kotter's 8 steps | Slides 2, 12 |
| Plan and timeline | Phases, milestones, communications and training | Slide 18 |
| Resistance and risks | Expected pushback and how you will handle it | Slide 19 |
| Measures of success | Adoption, usage and the business results you will track | Slide 21 |
Key numbers: Change management
Research figures you can quote on your slides. Each one names the study it comes from, so your audience can check it.
| Finding | Figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Projects with excellent change management that met or exceeded objectives | 88% (vs 13% with poor) | Prosci, Best Practices in Change Management |
| Likelihood of meeting objectives, excellent vs poor change management | about 7× | Prosci, Best Practices in Change Management |
| Projects meeting objectives with a very effective vs a very ineffective sponsor | 79% vs 27% | Prosci, Best Practices in Change Management |
| Projects meeting objectives when change and project management are integrated vs not | 47% vs 30% | Prosci, Best Practices in Change Management |
| Employees engaged at work worldwide in 2025 | 20% | Gallup, State of the Global Workplace (2026) |
Sources: Prosci, change management and project results · Prosci, Best Practices in Change Management · Prosci, 6 things we know about results · Gallup, State of the Global Workplace · WalkMe, change management statistics. Figures are from the editions named; check for a newer edition before you present.
Careful with "70% of change initiatives fail": it is widely repeated, but there is no peer-reviewed study behind it. The Prosci figures above are a safer choice for a slide.

Tips for a change management presentation
- Name the sponsor on the slide. Prosci's research ties sponsor effectiveness to results more strongly than almost anything else.
- Show the change from the employee's side: what changes for them on Monday morning.
- Plan communications as a sequence (announce, explain, train, reinforce), not a single email.
- Track adoption (people actually using the new way) separately from go-live.
Mistakes to avoid
- Treating go-live as the finish line
- Quoting the unsourced "70% of changes fail" figure
- Skipping middle managers, who carry most of the conversations
Checklist before you present
- Is the reason for change clear in one sentence?
- Is a named sponsor visible and committed?
- Are impacted groups and their concerns listed?
- Is there a plan for resistance?
- Are success measures agreed with the business?
Great for
- Change management programmes
- Digital transformation strategy
- Innovation workshops
- Future-state and improvement planning
How to customise it
- Download the ZIP file and unzip it to get the .pptx presentation.
- Open it in PowerPoint, or upload it to Google Drive and open it with Google Slides.
- Replace the sample text and numbers with your own; charts update from their data sheets.
- Change the theme colours once to recolour the whole deck, then delete any slides you don't need.
Questions about a change management presentation
Which change model should I put in the deck?
Pick one your audience will recognise. ADKAR works well for individual adoption and Kotter's 8 steps for organisation-wide change. Use the model slide to show where you are today.
How do I show progress on a change programme?
Combine activity measures (training completed, communications sent) with adoption measures (usage, proficiency) and the business outcome you promised.
