Innovative Edge
Change first. Technology second.
The change plan builder for healthcare leaders. Describe the initiative, generate a credible plan through the five moves, edit it, and export it to Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
A rollout just landed on your desk.
The technology and the go-live date are already decided.
The people who have to make it work on a Tuesday night shift are not.
Most change plans start with the tool and end with a training schedule. Change First Studio starts with the people, because good change management is a patient safety issue, not an afterthought.
The five moves
Every initiative runs through the same five moves, in the same order. Each one produces real artifacts you can hand to your sponsor, not a wall of AI text.
Move 1
Ground it
Why this, why now, what exactly changes, who sponsors it, what success looks like.
Produces
Initiative brief, Case for change, and more
Move 2
Map the people
Who is affected, how, and who matters.
Produces
Impact map (what changes by role or group), Stakeholder map (influence x impact grid, current stance, what they need), and more
Move 3
Read readiness and resistance
How ready are they, where will resistance show up, and what is it telling us.
Produces
Readiness read (signals and score by group), Resistance patterns and responses, and more
Move 4
Prepare the people
Who hears what, from whom, when; what they must learn; who supports them.
Produces
Communication plan (audience x message x sender x channel x timing), Enablement and training plan, and more
Move 5
Hold the gains
How we know it stuck and what we do when it slips.
Produces
Reinforcement plan (measures, cadence, feedback loops, course-correction triggers), 30/60/90 review
Influenced by Prosci's ADKAR model, Kotter's 8 steps, and Lewin. Nothing of theirs is reproduced; every item here is original.
What you get
A complete plan, not a slide
Five moves, each with structured artifacts (tables and lists, not paragraphs to untangle) that you can edit in place or regenerate one section at a time.
Exports that fit how you work
Word, PowerPoint and Excel, ready to hand to your sponsor or drop into your project office's templates, not a PDF nobody can edit.
Built for healthcare, not adapted for it
Medical staff bylaws, union consultation timelines, shift-based communication, clinical educators as the enablement backbone, and patient safety framing, baked into every prompt and template.
Your data stays in Canada
Encrypted, deletable on request, and no patient information goes in. Stakeholder names are optional; roles are the default.
Founding member offer
CAD 129 for the founding year
About USD 99. Renews at USD 99 a year after that, locked in for as long as you stay a member.
The founding member toolkit (seven original files) ships the moment you join, months before the app itself launches. You are not paying for a promise with nothing behind it.
The offer closes October 31, 2026. If Change First Studio is not live by November 30, 2026, every founding member gets a full refund, no questions asked.
Enrollment opens before CWHLC in October. Take the free scorecard now and you will be notified the moment it opens, at the founding price.
Built by Ohad Eliyahu
Patient care manager for medicine at a large teaching hospital, and owner of Innovative Edge Consulting.
Twenty-five years in healthcare and EMS, fifteen of them in leadership, with a master's degree in critical care paramedicine. The five moves come from initiatives he has actually run, not a framework he read about.
Frequently asked
Is this Prosci?
No. Influenced by Prosci's ADKAR model, Kotter's 8 steps, and Lewin. Nothing of theirs is reproduced; every item here is original. The five moves come from initiatives Ohad has run himself, inside a hospital, not from a certification course.
Do you store patient information?
No, and the product tells you not to enter it. Names of individual stakeholders are optional everywhere; roles are the default.
Where is my data?
Stored in Canada, encrypted at rest and in transit. You can export everything you have entered, or delete it, yourself.
What do I get today, before the app is live?
The founding member toolkit: seven original healthcare-flavoured files (change plan template, stakeholder register, sponsor briefing, readiness worksheets and more), delivered on purchase. The app follows.
Can my team use it?
The founding offer is one seat. A team tier is planned after launch, and founding members get first access to it.
