Aspen
What it is
Aspen is cloud-based enterprise change management software for change leads and their teams. It records programmes, projects, changes, impacts, training needs, and activities against the organisational units they affect. Organisation-wide heatmaps show affected teams and when people are needed by several workstreams. Configurable heatmaps, roll-ups, and engagement material use the information logged in the system. Aspen is designed around Prosci and ADKAR while allowing other non-proprietary change models. AI assistance can draft impact assessments, training needs analyses, stakeholder portfolios, and roll-up reports. Teams can invite stakeholders to dashboards when ready, or simply log and map changes and stakeholders. Project managers receive a view, but Aspen is not a project management tool. KRD Solutions and Services Limited makes Aspen and describes itself as New Zealand owned and globally active. Pricing is on request, and KRD offers a 30-minute demonstration based on a prospective customer’s change.

The verdict
Aspen focuses on the organisational impact of change, with mapping, heatmaps, analytics, and communication controls. Its defined boundary makes it a change-management system rather than a general project-management platform.
Who it suits
Aspen suits change leads and teams in any sector or organisation size. It is intended for organisations coordinating impacts, stakeholders, training, and change analytics rather than project management.
