Process/systems refresh

To create a business that is fit for the future, companies often seek to renew core systems and processes, enabling more effective and efficient ways of working, providing new functionality and increasing their competitiveness.

Programmes to replace or enhance existing systems tend to have widespread business consequences; the scale of change and impact on the business will often be transformational. The effective management and motivation of business, technical and change experts are vital for success. Indeed the failure of these types of programmes generally results from poor programme management or inadequate change leadership.

Our clients turn to Project One for help in managing this type of change in order to create and implement sustainable solutions that take full advantage of market and productivity opportunities. 

 

Keeping you in control, our focus is on:

 

  • Clarifying a shared view of the business vision and priorities, and helping to build a compelling case for change
  • Shaping an overall change roadmap that sets out the journey, breaks the change down into manageable chunks and enables people to get going quickly
  • Mobilising the programme and working with resource managers to organise and staff-up for delivery, making best use of, and developing, the talent in your team 
  • Leading the programme of change in a way that enables business managers to maintain control throughout the journey and make informed decisions
  • Establishing clarity on where the business benefits are and how they should be realised and sustained
  • Where appropriate, helping to select solutions and delivery partners best suited to the business need and priorities
  • Building a client-side assurance capability to help ensure robust management of partners, and enable maximum value, while keeping you in control
  • Managing programme delivery, with rigorous controls and reporting
  • Leading practical approaches to bringing the new ways of working to life
  • Supporting management of specific workstreams in order to keep the programme on track
  • Best practice change leadership - really engaging the business and leading the preparation required to receive the change and drive out the benefits, ensuring that the change is "pulled" by the business, not "done to" it
  • Enhancing the capability of the in-house team to learn, develop, and manage aspects of the programme themselves
