For Practitioners
The structural problems your change program can't fix. Named. Every time.
The IGNITE Change Management Plugin for Claude Cowork
You already know what's missing
You produce the right artifacts. The comms plan goes out. Training hits 90% completion. The go-live date holds.
Six months later, half the org is working around the system instead of in it.
You've seen this before. You'll see it again. Not because the change program was wrong. Because the change program was never designed to solve the structural problems underneath it.
The metrics still reward the old behavior. The decision rights were never reassigned. The middle managers are carrying four new roles nobody redesigned. The old process is still running in parallel because nobody had the authority to shut it down.
You know these are the real problems. But your tools don't name them. Your frameworks don't surface them. And when you raise them in a SteerCo, they get labeled "organizational issues" and deferred to the next phase.
That next phase never comes.
What this plugin does differently
The IGNITE Change Management Plugin gives you 19 structured commands covering the full OCM engagement lifecycle. It produces the artifacts you need: stakeholder maps, comms plans, training strategies, readiness dashboards, resistance diagnoses, governance structures.
But here is what makes it different from every other tool you've used:
Every output tells you what it produced well and what it cannot determine. Specifically, whether the structural decisions behind the work have actually been made.
A comms plan that announces a path closure nobody has authorized is not a change management problem. It is a structural one. The plugin tells you that. Early. Before it costs six months.
What's Inside
19 commands across five phases

Install
Cowork → Customize → "+" → Add marketplace from GitHub → enter ignite-consulting/change-management
Orient
Run /ocm:start. Three questions capture your engagement context. Every subsequent command uses it.
Run your engagement
Invoke commands as you need them. The plugin produces structured practitioner drafts. You apply professional judgment.
Name the limit
Every output tells you what it produced and what it cannot determine. You know where you stand before it costs six months.
What changes for you
Before the plugin
You spend the first two weeks of every engagement rebuilding frameworks from scratch. Your tools document activity but miss structural risk. Resistance gets labeled “people issues.” You know the difference between activity readiness and structural readiness, but you're the only one in the room who does.
After the plugin
Orientation, work plan, stakeholder map, and timeline in the first session. Every artifact distinguishes what the change program can solve from what requires structural decisions above your level. And when you escalate to the sponsor, you're handing them a specific structural decision with evidence.
Who this is for
Change management practitioners running OCM engagements: independent consultants, boutique firm practitioners, internal OCM leads.
Project managers on enterprise transformations who own the people side of a technology or process rollout.
Program managers coordinating across workstreams who need readiness visibility and a structured decision register.
OCM leads at consulting firms who want a faster, more rigorous delivery layer without sacrificing methodology.
This plugin is not designed for HR documentation, compliance evidence, or engagements where no qualified practitioner is reviewing the outputs.
Why free
The plugin builds the change program — the foundation every serious engagement requires. It does that job completely.
Above the change program is environment design: engineering the operating conditions so new behavior becomes the path of least resistance. That work requires a different instrument and a different conversation.
The plugin is free because it is designed to do its job well and to name clearly where that job ends. The limit it names is not a sales pitch. It is the most honest thing a change management tool can tell you.
Install
Free. No subscription.
No trial period. No feature gates.
Install once. Use across every engagement.

FAQ
When the limit is structural
If the plugin surfaces operating conditions your change program cannot resolve — decision rights that haven't been reassigned, metrics that reward the old behavior, roles that were never redesigned — and you need help making the case to your sponsor or designing the structural intervention:
