Correct Answer: D

When assessing the severity of change impacts during a stakeholder impact assessment, one of the criteria that can be used is the coverage of impact. The coverage of impact refers to the proportion of a given stakeholder group that are impacted by a change. For example, if a change affects 80% of the employees in a department, the coverage of impact is high. The other options are not criteria for assessing the severity of change impacts, but rather factors or outcomes of other processes or activities in the change process

Correct Answer: A

Resistance to change is a common reaction that occurs when people perceive a threat or loss from the change. Resistance can be shown in different ways, such as denial, avoidance, passive-aggressive behavior, or sabotage. Sabotage is a deliberate attempt to undermine or obstruct the change. To deal with sabotage, change leaders should try to understand the reasons behind it and address them constructively. One possible action is to allocate important change tasks to the saboteurs, as this can increase their involvement, ownership, and accountability for the change. The other options are not suitable responses, as they either ignore, isolate, or accept the sabotage, which can worsen the situation and damage the change.

Correct Answer: A

A Persona is a fictional representation of a typical member of a stakeholder group, based on real data and insights. A Persona can help to understand the needs, goals, motivations, and challenges of a stakeholder group, as well as their attitudes and behaviors towards a change. One advantage of using a Persona is that it allows checking of proposed solutions against this Persona to ensure solutions provide what is needed and address any potential issues or concerns.
