Louise Harris- Valuable and Effective Change

Have you experienced the challenge of implementing technology or process changes that just don't achieve optimum user adoption and don't deliver the expected business benefits? Along with personal motivation, stakeholder confidence in their ability to make or sustain the change are critical success factors for achieving optimum benefit from technology and process changes. In addition, many are finding the experience of the change preparation journey itself has a significant impact on stakeholder motivation and confidence and consequently the quality and fit of the solution design. Inspired by successful customer journey mapping used by UX design experts, Stakeholder Change Journey mapping visually links change preparation activities with change results. It enables you to easily identify priority change preparation activities that are insufficient or too convoluted. It provides a cohesive framework to streamline your stakeholder change preparation plans, asses risk and reduce unanticipated hitches. Best of all, it is an excellent project communication tool for executive, project managers and impacted staff. Using input from the audience on key change preparation challenges, this presentation will walk you through mapping a stakeholder change journey. You will have the opportunity to discover and discuss the value of using this mapping tool. By the end of this session you will be motivated to give it a try in your environment.
