Country Change Readiness Index
September 17, 2013
KPMG, in collaboration with Oxford
Economics, developed the Change Readiness Index (CRI) – an index, which
assesses the ability of 90 countries (developed and developing) to manage
change and cultivate the resulting opportunity.
Its website offers an
interactive map that provides access to country profiles that include
specific strengths and opportunities, country, region and income level
comparisons, and full rankings list for the overall CRI and the three
pillars (Enterprise Capability, Government Capability, and People &
Civil Society Capability).

Change can include short-term
negative shocks, such as natural disasters or social instability, or
longer-term change opportunities, such as technologies or emerging market
growth and competition. The way a country responds to, mitigates, and takes
advantage of change has a significant impact on its ability to achieve
sustained economic growth and share the benefits of that growth with all of
its citizens. The CRI can be used to inform national governments to
identify and address capability gaps, the development community to better
tailor aid programs, and private sector enterprises to improve the
targeting of their investments and the reduction of risks.
For the 2013 CRI, KPMG worked
with the researchers at Oxford Economics to develop the Index. In addition
to recommended adjustments from the experts at Oxford Economics, we also
incorporated feedback from industry experts on the 2012 CRI to make the
Index even more informative and useful. Changes included a broader pool of
countries, expanded sub-indices, and enriched primary research.
