About the Change Style Indicator Second Edition (CSI 2)
Use the CSI 2 assessment to navigate change effectively
The Change Style Indicator Second Edition (CSI 2) offers insights into how people prefer to approach change in the workplace. Designed to support leadership and change management initiatives, this assessment measures an individual’s preferred change style, ranging from a preference for gradual to radical change.
​
The 3 change styles are:
​
-
Conserver: Prefer gradual, structured change. They tend to value tradition, consistency and predictability.
​
-
Pragmatist: Prefer to explore the current situation in an objective manner and make logical changes. They tend to remain flexible in their approach to change.
​
-
Originator: Prefer a faster and more radical approach to change. They tend to explore new ideas and challenge the status quo.
