Change NetworkChange Network
• The volume of change undertaken simultaneously must be carefully weighed beforehand
• Be involved from the start – it is much harder to catch up
• Ensuring consultant “fit” is a key driver of success
• Having employees as members of the change management team is critical
• Securing external, expert resources is a worthwhile investment (e.g. ROC Group for communications support)
• Integrated change delivery services are key to overall success
• Change management’s work doesn’t end at go-live
• Flexibility, adaptability and persistence support project progress and personal sanity
• Commitment to collaboration must be a guiding principle
