RESEARCH POSTER PRESENTATION DESIGN © 2012 www.PosterPresentations.com Situa=on and Opportunity IBM applied our Agile Methodology for speed and designed a change program for higher and faster performance with a commitment to continued action Key Change Management Ac=vi=es Indicators of change include better information access, more efficient processes through collaboration and analytics and saved time Adop=on Measurements and Results Experiences and Lessons Learned • A strong two-way flow of communications from global to geography and across business unit teams was critical to ensure interlock and collaboration across the IBM matrix • As we deployed, we watched scorecard indicators of readiness and progress toward the adoption of key expected behaviors by role to refine approaches and ensure coverage of any gaps • Also, the agile development process required ‘agile’ OCM methods; we found that we needed to make very quick assessments, rapid decisions and be flexible to modifications and revisions 1.Define early a vision of benefits and expected behaviors and a master data strategy 2.Design and integrate the user experience from a sellers’ perspective and involve them throughout development • Engage the business at all levels and frequently - make them part of the solution 3.Develop a tightly-knit Change Management plan of action • Mitigation plans to address change impact, messaging, communications, education, stakeholder management, feedback, adoption measurement and improvement 4.Adoption is key to success . . . but, it takes leadership and commitment • Expect faster adoption on items that are ‘required’- the rest requires work to convey ‘what's in it for me’ and role-modeling to help motivate behavior change Recommended Readings • Making change work …while the work keeps changing - How Change Architects lead and manage organizational change, IBM IBV, August 2014 • The Individual Enterprise - How mobility redefines business, IBM IBV, July 2014 • Embedding Strategy, D.
