Subject matter expertise is aresource requirement. If expertise is unavailable, theresource planis impacted, since this plan defines roles, skills, and availability required to support the change. Risk mitigation (B) may eventually address consequences, but the direct plan affected is the resource plan. Learning (A) and sustainability (D) come later, after execution and adoption.
(Reference: ACMP Standard, Process Group 3 - Develop Resource Plan; Identify skill requirements, assign resources, and address gaps in expertise.)

When assessments highlighthigh risk, ACMP advises incorporatingresistance management activitiesinto the mitigation plan. These activities include addressing concerns, clarifying roles, and creating feedback mechanisms. Hiring vendors (B) may help with training but does not address resistance. Reinforcing the vision (C) is important but not comprehensive, and budget increases (D) are reactive. Proactively managing resistance (A) is the recommended mitigation.
(Reference: ACMP Standard, Process Group 2 - Risk Management Strategy; Activity: Include resistance management activities in mitigation planning.)

People are the key enablers of change. To ensure their effective use, ACMP recommendsintegrating human resources into executionby involving them in planning, coaching, and execution decisions. HR can help align staffing, training, and performance systems to support adoption. Controlled spending (B), monitoring physical resources (C), and document management (D) address other aspects of resource management but not the people side. Thus, option A reflects ACMP's focus on effective utilization of human resources.
(Reference: ACMP Standard, Process Group 4 - Execute; Activity: Leverage human resources effectively to drive change execution.)

Determining how prepared an organization is for change produces anorganizational change readiness assessment. ACMP defines readiness as the degree to which stakeholders and structures are prepared to adopt and sustain the change. Learning needs (B) and communication needs (A) are sub-assessments, while capacity assessment (D) measures absorption ability. The correct overarching output is C.
(Reference: ACMP Standard, Process Group 1 - Evaluate; Output: Organizational change readiness assessment.)

Continuous improvement is embedded within thesustainability plan. ACMP emphasizes that sustainability requires monitoring adoption, capturing feedback, and making iterative improvements to ensure the change endures. Learning and development (B) addresses skills, measurement (C) focuses on outcomes, and engagement (D) fosters involvement. Only the sustainability plan (A) formally captures continuous improvement activities.
(Reference: ACMP Standard, Process Group 4 - Sustainability Plan; Activity: Implement feedback-driven continuous improvement to sustain change.)
