CHANGE MANAGEMENT – INTRODUCTION
• Defining and instilling new values, attitudes, norms, and behaviors within an organization that support new ways of
doing work and overcome resistance to change;
• Building consensus among customers and stakeholders on specific changes designed to better meet their needs;
• Planning, testing, and implementing all aspects of the transition from one organizational structure or business
process to another.
While change management can be defined in many different ways, the key
elements will always tend to include the following responsibilities…
* From Business Process Re-engineering Glossary
• At its core, change management is about anticipating and preparing for the ripple effects that any significant
change will have across the organization…

4. CHANGE MANAGEMENT – WHY IT’S NEEDED
As organizations
continue to change
with increasing speed
and regularity,
professional change
management becomes
ever more important..
PROJECT FAILURE RATES:
Only 20 to 30% of all reengineering projects succeed1
Just 43% of quality-improvement efforts make satisfactory
progress2
9% of all major software development applications in large
organizations are worth the cost. 31% get cancelled before
completion. 53 percent will result in cost overruns by 189%3
Poorly managed change
management is often
cited as a key driver of
project failure…

Case Study #1 – eGL LSS Case Studies
Case Study
Background
Throughout 2002-2003, RBCFG elected
to implement a PeopleSoft General
Ledger system – impacting:
- over 40 existing GL’s,
- 246 legal entities,
- 34 implementation sites,
- 55 geographical jurisdictions
- 2800 users
An LSS project that introduced and
implemented technology and
process changes to processing client
transactions – impacting:
- approx. 1000 branches
- approx. 2900 branch users
- approx. 700,000 transactions per
annum
- 4 customer segments

At this early stage, the picture will be
somewhat unclear, but an attempt should still
be made to at least capture preliminary
thinking.
A constant distinction needs to be made
between the project work and the end-
state in order to ensure that there is
appropriate focus on where you’re going
rather than just the journey…

Impact
Assessment
As Ideal State and project goals become further defined, a
preliminary impact assessment can be crafted.
Project Related Questions:
What resources will we need for the project team? What will their commitment need to be?
What levels of participation will be required from the rest of the sponsoring organization?
How will we introduce the project, who will deliver messages?
Project Impact Related Questions:
How broad is this change we’re potentially delivering?
What associated business processes could be impacted?
How will staff be impacted? How might the organization structure, reporting relationships etc. be changed?
What new skills may be required?
How might the technology infrastructure (applications, data, hardware etc.) be impacted?
What impact might there be to customers, shareholders, suppliers, competitors etc.?

• Move budget from other areas?
Consider what
options you might
offer to alleviate
