1. Change Management Plan
A multidisciplinary approach will be utilized as we undertake the change management
approach at Xxxxxx. This plan will entail strategic, behavioral, attitudinal, cultural,
organizational and technical components. The goal of this plan is to provide a broad
conceptual framework in which change will occur. To Xxxxxx’s credit, the workforce has
been surveyed to provide a hint of the cultural readiness of the organization to pursue
such changes. In addition to what has already been accomplished, this office suggests
a more focused approach be taken in measuring the specific issues related to Project
Sirius. Pulse surveys may be appropriate 90 days before we go live.

will be consolidated into one master plan. The plan developed after blueprinting will
have defined activities, defined activities, and a suspense date for completion. It will be

3. Sirius Team Training
Training will be driven primarily by user demand. However, a certain aspect will be
driven by the change management function. It is also understood that the hard skills
training is done by a third party. During the interview, it was suggested that internal
resources also be involved in the training process (super users). During blueprinting, the
team training will be the main focus. Areas that will be utilized are:
1) Team Leader Training -- January
2) Stages Of Team Development -- January
Forming
Storming
Norming
Performing
3) Qualities Of High Performing Team -- January
Purpose
Empowerment
Relationship and Communication
Flexibility
Optimal Productivity
Recognition
Morale
4) Interaction Hand Off “Hands-off Between Teams” – February
5) Six Personal Commitments (Jack Skeen) – March
6) March Team Functioning Audits -- March
Team functioning audits will be conducted in the month of March to reinforce
the January training. It stands to reason that a dysfunctional team will not
secure positive results Project Sirius.
7) 360’s – March
Whenever possible, it is best to break this training down by team. The
exception is the hands-off training. Here it will be beneficial to have teams
which are mutually dependent work together. This list is not inclusive. Other
courses will be offered now and in the future.
4. The basic model for change management will be developed in conjunction with the
team leader.
5. Change Forms
Form 1 will be utilized for any significant change that develops out of the blueprinting
process.
Form 2 will be utilized to define the agreed upon action plan for said change(s).

8. Post Blueprinting Change Management
Action Plan
Within 15 days of blueprinting, a comprehensive and specific change management
action plan will be developed to address all aspects of the change management plan
including:
Change readiness
•
Organizational Design
•
Communication
•
Training
•
Project Team Development
•
Leadership Alignment
•
Interviews
(Leadership Alignment)
In the month of December, nine interviews were conducted with top management
personnel regarding their perceptions as to the willingness of their organization to
handle the SAP implantation and the requisite changes that it will entail. The response
was very positive with top management giving their full support to this project. I would
recommend that a random selection of mid-level managers be interviewed utilizing the
same instrument to determine their willingness to support and be a change agent in the
BPR process. This will be done in the months of February and March.
