The 2015 Change Readiness Index (CRI) indicates the capability of a country to respond to a wide range of change drivers.
The report indicates the capability of a country – its government, private and public enterprises, people and wider civil society – to anticipate, prepare for, manage and respond to a wide range of change drivers, proactively cultivating the resulting opportunities and mitigating potential negative impacts.
CRI is made by KPMG International.
Examples of change include:
- shocks such as financial and social instability and natural disasters
- political and economic opportunities and risks such as technology, competition and changes in government.
Since 2012, the CRI has evolved to become a key tool that provides reliable, independent and robust information to support the work of governments, civil society institutions, businesses and the international development community.
