Selecting the appropriate people to function as change agents on a major project is critical to realizing the full benefits of the initiative. At Conner Partners, we use the Change Agent Selection Form to help sponsors and potential agents do four things:

• Choose the most qualified change agents to work on a specific change
• Help the candidates understand the sponsors’ rationale for selecting or nominating them
• Provide a framework for the continued development of the prospective or selected agent(s)
• Facilitate discussion between the agent and sponsor, and clarify expectations for the agent’s performance during a specific change project
