When the project objectives, scope and approach are defined, often the next step is to determine how the project stakeholders (eg: staff, suppliers, unions, franchisees) will be engaged. Engaging them so as they are participants on the journey, rather than antagonists is a key part of project success – and lies at the heart of change management. At a high level, his journey can be broken into three stages:
-
Clarifying the future state, or ‘To Be’ that must be achieved.
-
Understanding the current state or ‘As Is’ that is to be left behind
-
Working out “how”, (some organized process) for getting from the one to the other.
Summarized below are several projects that Strategies & Solutions have undertaken where Change Management played a significant part in success.
Many organizations are often faced with opportunities to improve their business, but lack the independence or internal skills to develop a rigorous business case to assist management in making a well-informed “Go/No-Go” decisions. A good business case will clearly explain the value (sales/savings etc.), cost (time/funding/opportunity costs etc.) effort (resources/behavioral change etc/) and risk (business & project risks etc.) as well as outline implementation options/recommendations. Outlined below is a selection of our experiences in building business cases.
