Plan for Organizational Impact Change and Communication
Posted by: Chahinkapa in Consultants, Deltas, Implementation, PeopleSoft Finance, PeopleSoft HCM, Project Management, Project Planning, Questions, Training, Training and Development, Uncategorized, Upgrade, tags: Strategy WorkshopMore projects fail because of poor change management than probably any other factor. People do not like change and it is important to develop a change management and communication plan. Identify that person in your group who loves to lead the charge on change. Then develop a group discussion on how this project will impact the organization. Draw an organizational chart on the board and circle the stakeholders. Look at how the project will impact end users, customers, managers, executives. How will that change be communicated to each of those groups.
Identify the leader who will begin to develop the change plan. How will the team be structured to complete this deliverable. A draft should be completed by the end of the week and a group will need to work on the content and strategy for that deliverable. You can facilitate discussion in the large group and then assign a small group to work on the deliverable. Or you can have several groups assigned to change and communication items for the plan. Don’t hesitate to assign homework so this is completed and ready for presentation by the end of the week.
What are some of the creative ways to communicate to the organization? Do you want to develop a web page? a newsletter, tweet program, blog, regular program for sending emails? Will the communication look different for each group? Let the group help stimulate this discussion and get a feel for the culture of the organization and how it communicates. My experience in organizations demonstrates how communication differs, a small organization may communicate only by email, others may have formal presentations and still others may have comprehensive web sites. Stimulate the group to come up with all the venues that they think will work for their organization and then assign a small group to incorporate the ideas into the plan.
One more step in the starting week of implementation/upgrade planning.

It was cool to know that you are keen in making the change management better. Once we are sufficiently good at change management, and know our users’ likes its not a big deal to make the project a successful one.

Hi, Good post about Twitter. I think Twitter is going to be one of the stronger networks because of the fact that it is supported by so many industries. I also think when Twitter introduces some of it’s new functions, returning traffic will increase to show the real growth of the network. Keep up the great work!

Hi. this is kind of an “unconventional” question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you’ve got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this …so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I’ll just keep working on it one day at a time.
Nice information, many thanks to the author. It is incomprehensible to me now, but in general, the usefulness and significance is overwhelming. Thanks again and good luck!
