TECHNIQUES
Managing change is difficult, complex and ongoing. WDScott have developed and refined a series of techniques to help our clients introduce, implement and manage the change process.
Program Office
- The approach and the use of a Program Office ensures changes are introduced so as to create value as rapidly as possible but at low cost and with a high level of certainty. It ensures that all business changes are:
- Strategically aligned
- Coordinated ‘centrally’
- Well communicated in a timely (in advance), meaningful and consistent manner
- Ongoing and predictable, and
- Explicitly linked: Strategy - Sponsor - Initiative - Change - User/Customer Impact
- Free of unintended overlaps and underlaps
- The Program Office also ensures Change Opportunities are:
- Assessed and designed across all dimensions of change, i.e. Strategy, Product/Channel, Process, Information, Structure, Skill, Technology
- Subjected to a consistent Analysis and Design, Implementation, and “Embedding” Methodology
- Presented to the business in a meaningful and concise manner, and
- Include consideration of opportunities/issues identified by TQM and Business unit teams
