Axelos we need a project methodology with business change management tools!

Axelos  https://www.axelos.com/ which is the recently formed venture between the old OGC organisation that owned PRINCE2, ITIL  and Capita is promoting what they call 'global best practice'. They have an impressive portfolio of project management tools which also includes more recent additions such as MoV. MoP, P3M3


 
One area which is not covered and which ultimately defines the success of all programmes and projects is the level of business engagement during the project implementation and adoption into the support or service lifecycle
 
So I would like to start a campaign for a Business Change Methodology - BCM which would ideally include some of the following tools:
 
  • Business Readiness Assessment - is the business ready to support the project?
  • Stakeholder Mapping Tool - who in the business is committed and who is compliant?
  • Change Impact Assessment - what areas need to managed and supported?
  • Communications Plan - focused on the business change impacts not the IT deliverables
  • Sponsor Assessment Tools - how committed is your sponsor and how do they support the project and support lifecycles
  • Resistance Behaviour Assessment - how to measure who needs  support to enable full adoption of the new processes, ways of working etc
It's interesting to note that AMPG are promoting a Change Management Certificate http://www.apmg-international.com/en/qualifications/change-management/change-management.aspx
 
but where is the Axelos approved methodology to integrate with PRINCE2, ITIL et al????
