Change Management Framework Select slides that support a dialogue on what change is and why it is critical
Change Management Defined Change Management is the discipline of preparing people for and supporting them through a business, technical and/or organizational change. The overarching goal is to achieve the desired level of organizational performance as soon as possible. Benefits § Leadership is aligned on strategy, urgency for change, key actions required to manage the transition § Critical risks are identified, managed and mitigated § Business as usual remains uninterrupted by transformation activities § Operational readiness is quickly achieved at all levels of the organization § Individual and team performance dips are minimized
The Transition Curve An organization’s attitudes and perceptions of change will shift throughout different phases of transformation. Managing the transition is a foundation for managing organizational change. Organization Momentum Early euphoria “Change is exciting” “Our company is taking a bold step” DENIAL Denial and Uncertainty Commitment “It is the right thing to do” “We will succeed” COMMITMENT “To what extent will it affect me? “ “How can I work in a virtual matrix? ” Adaptation “I think I can figure out how to live with it” Productivity Baseline Fear and Resistance “Same job, less money!” “I don’t trust those guys!“ RESISTANCE Testing and Acceptance “Maybe, I should learn more about their culture” “The train is leaving, I better get on” “It’s difficult, but we can do it” EXPLORATION Withdrawal Paralysis “I can’t act any more with all this uncertainty” Departure “I’ll do what is necessary to survive” “This is not something I want to be a part of” Time
Employees’ Perceptions and Reactions to Change In managing the transition it is crucial to address both objective and subjective changes for those impacted. Information Rumors and speculation Subjective areas of change Valuation of objective & subjective changes Objective Areas of Change may include: § Organization § Systems § Processes Subjective Areas of Change will include: § Personal considerations, e. g. , – Job security – Changes in responsibilities or position – Level of acceptance of own habits – Career development – Compensation – Travel requirements § New environment, e. g. , – Values and rules – Cultures – Priorities – Working styles – Shared expectations – Tacit knowledge – Relationships – Types of interaction Expectations
Why do projects fail? Projects tend to fail as a result of people-related issues not technical ones. The data shows applying change management improves the likelihood of success. 82% Resistance by Employees 72% Inadequate Sponsorship Unrealistic Expectations 65% Poor Project Management 54% Business Case not Compelling 46% Project Team Lacked Skills 44% Scope Expansion / Uncertainty 44% No Organizational Change Plan People-related issues are noted in red 43% Silos/No Horizontal Process View 41% 36% IT Perspective not Integrated 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% % of Firms The lessons learned from previous projects as well as industry research highlights that training and communication activities can address some of the people-related issues, however a broader range of activities are necessary to drive the adoption of the new technology and processes.
The elusive “big gain” § Many companies launch big initiatives with the intention of “changing the entire company” but fail to see the returns they expected § They start new programs and invest in technology, process, and organizational improvements and see some returns but not the game changing, step function gains they had hoped for § The most often neglected ingredient to seeing the big gains is in people’s behaviors. Companies cannot fundamentally change unless people change how they work Many initiatives stall here Stage 3 Business Value Stage 2 Stage 1 Big Gains Marginal Improvement Implementation Initiative is accepted and creates tactical improvements New systems, processes, org (e. g. faster software, specific structures, or priorities processes perform better, etc. ), introduced but work is essentially done the same way as before Work is done differently. People’s behaviors change fundamentally, maximizing gains from new capabilities and enabling major improvements Time

A data-driven, analytical approach to managing change will accelerate value for you How precision is achieved Analytic – Driven Change will provide specific and actionable data that will be used to develop targeted interventions for XXXXX X stakeholders / leaders and allow for progress to be tracked How speed is achieved Targeted global and function specific change management and training recommendations will accelerate performance by focusing the XXXXX X project’s resources on areas likely to achieve the high-quality value How impact is achieved Deployment of targeted recommendations are tightly linked to XXXXX X’s project goals and objectives. Insights are derived from the analysis of both what XXXXX X stakeholders perceive and what objective (e. g. financial and operational) data tells us. Additionally, objective data will allow us to quantifiably demonstrate the impact of the change.
Description Conduct Assessment & Analysis The Conduct Assessment and Analysis Phase emphasizes a deep understanding of the XXXXX’s business problem and desired outcomes, understanding leaders’ commitment and alignment to strategic objectives, and collecting and analyzing data in a way that is meaningful to the XXXXX. The insights from analysis will drive the solutions in the next phase. Plan & Design Change Solutions Execute Change Solutions The Plan and Design Change Solutions phase drives to solution development in preparation for execution. It starts with leadership and aligning them to a common vision and goal, uses insights from analysis in the first phase to build the solution plan, and finally requires designing and developing change solutions, which can be implemented in the final phase. During the Execute Change Solutions Phase, implementation of the planned solutions begins. Managing data and change solutions regularly, appropriate transition activities and measurement will be critical to the sustainability of the solutions. Communication Strategy Leadership Action Plans Stakeholder Engagement Strategy Knowledge Transfer Plan Sample Outputs As One Analysis Data Visualization Outputs
Plan & Design Change Solutions Conduct Assessment & Analysis Establish Clarity of Intended Business Outcome Assess Leadership Alignment Execute Change Solutions Conduct Data Analysis and Visualization Collect Data Objectives • Clearly establish business outcomes that can be used to drive planning and decision making throughout the project • Use data to understand the alignment and commitment of leaders most critical to the success of the project • Collect data to validate the problem is the “right” problem and that the solution will achieve the business outcome, manage risks, realize results and more efficiently use resources • Extract Analytics-Driven insights to aid decision making, identify opportunities, and understand where the greatest impact will be to effectively prioritize solutions Activities ü ü Establish business outcomes for planning and decision making Use XXXXX resources to understand industry trends ü Conduct leadership assessment to measure leaders’ commitment or resistance to the change ü Document areas of resistance and/or gaps in leadership alignment, including (but not limited to) lack of clear vision, differences between leadership vision and strategy, and lack of consistency and commitment ü Identify data necessary to collect based on business outcome ü Analyze data using trends, correlations, etc. ü Extract insights from the data ü Determine ways to maximize use of time, cost and effort of data collection (e. g. , limited number of questions, online vs. paper) and identify opportunities to implement change solutions to achieve business outcomes ü Use data visualization to effectively showcase insights from data and drive decision making and action
Plan & Design Change Solutions Conduct Assessment & Analysis Architect Leadership Alignment Approach Execute Change Solutions Design Data-driven Strategic Change Solutions Plan Data-driven Strategic Change Solutions Objectives • Partner with leadership to drive alignment around the common vision and goal, a pre-condition for the success of the project • Build the strategic change solution plan, what includes what is needed to implement, the potential impact to the business if implemented and the risks associated with not implementing • Design and develop targeted change solutions based on the needs of individual stakeholder groups from data analysis Activities ü Determine what changes will need to occur within the organization and what skills leaders will need to become aligned ü Determine which change solutions are required to achieve business outcomes ü Identify indicators of success based on business outcomes ü Identify and prioritize change solutions based on those that drive greatest impact ü Develop a high level roadmap ü Determine level of effort to implement and associated risks ü Engage leaders and develop a plan to address leadership alignment ü Modify and track leadership alignment throughout the project lifecycle ü Build change solutions (e. g. , communications, training, change management) and develop materials
Conduct Assessment & Analysis Plan & Design Change Solutions Manage, Monitor, & Sustain Data and Strategic Change Solutions Implement Data-driven Strategic Change Solutions Objectives • Execute the change management strategy adjusting as necessary based on changing needs of stakeholder groups, outside influences and demand • Confirm that business has absorbed and adopted the change and can demonstrate a quantifiable operational outcome that is sustainable Activities ü Execute against work plan (including development and implementation of change solutions). ü Measure progress based on indicators of success ü Continue to manage and monitor ongoing change management activities, such as change agent networks and communications, as well as leadership action plans ü Conduct knowledge transfer and capability transfer activities ü Discuss lessons learned Execute Change Solutions
Change Lessons Learned Mitigation strategies Lesson A one-size-fits-all approach frequently yields poor results It’s tough to manage what you can’t measure Without a comprehensive solution, success won’t be sustainable Lack of clear direction and business objectives = failure to achieve results Decisions based on evidence vs. intuition leads to more precise solutions • Use insights from data analysis to create targeted solutions to meet the unique needs of each stakeholder group • Create an implementation plan that best utilizes money and resources by only implementing select solutions as needed • Hold teams accountable by measuring not just project status, but progress towards business outcomes • Clearly define what success looks like and establish indicators of success to measure • Identify the related initiatives (talent, process, change or org) required to supplement the new solutions • Clearly identify business outcomes and project objectives that are measurable • Gain leadership alignment around outcomes and check in regularly • Analyze objective and self-reported data to test assumptions, extract insights and quantifiably demonstrate the impact of the change • Use results of data analysis to understand the root cause of the problem and identify key stakeholder needs
Stakeholder Management and Communications are key factors to ensuring the success of GIFT. Due to the changes that GIFT will bring, effective communications will play a critical role in facilitating process, technological and cultural shifts for Chartis employees. What is a Communications Strategy? Why develop a Communications Strategy? § Defines the approach for sharing information about GIFT so that stakeholders receive required information in a timely manner to ensure alignment § § Identify objectives and guiding principles for GIFT communications Identify stakeholders, audience groups and their specific communications needs Define the roles, responsibilities, processes and tools for developing, reviewing and executing communications in support of GIFT Achieve stakeholder buy-in and promote ownership by specifying their roles in supporting the changes that GIFT will implement and generating enthusiasm and excitement about the changes § Provide a forum for two-way communication for stakeholder feedback by soliciting valuable feedback for project teams and allowing mid-course adjustments to the communication process What is a Communications Plan? § A work plan that details all communication activities throughout the phases of GIFT to ensure the key stakeholders get required information in a timely manner Why develop a Communications Plan? § Ensure appropriate and consistent messages are being communicated to key stakeholders in a timely manner § Increase understanding of the objectives and expected benefits of GIFT § Communicate how GIFT will impact Chartis and its employees, including: What will be expected during the GIFT timeline What will change because of GIFT What should and should not be expected when GIFT is implemented § Report on GIFT project progress through multiple communications methods and vehicles/channels § Promote two-way communications and feedback from target audience groups § Acknowledge and celebrate milestones within the GIFT community and the UK and Europe Finance & Accounting and Operations & Systems organizations Components of the Communications Process § Perform Stakeholder Analysis & Engagement Planning Identify Stakeholders Develop the Stakeholder Analysis Matrix Inputs into Develop the Stakeholder Engagement Plan Communications Strategy § Perform Communications Assessment and Plan Conduct Audience Analysis Conduct Media, Vehicle, and Infrastructure Analysis Conduct Message Analysis § Develop Communications Strategy § Develop Communications Plan § Execute Communications Plan Develop Communications Deliver Communications § Collect Feedback and Monitor Progress § Refresh Stakeholder Engagement Plan and Communications Plan as needed
Training - Overview The primary goal of the end-user training program is to support the GIFT objectives by teaching employees how to apply the new business processes and use the SAP system to do their jobs. Training Objectives § Help end users to ensure they understand: § How the new business processes and systems works specific to their roles § Changes to their roles and responsibilities as related to GIFT § The overall objectives and benefits of GIFT § Use a blended learning approach that incorporates the following principles: Customized, Role-Oriented Training: Training will be categorized by role and the curriculum designed to meet the needs of specific Training Methodology roles based on Chartism’ processes and system transactions. Training will provide the conceptual framework of Chartism’ business with function-specific, task-oriented practice Just-in-Time: The right people will be included to receive the right information and training at the right time. The training efforts will focus on critical and essential programs required to have an immediate impact to the business. Less critical and long-term initiatives can then follow where needed and where appropriate Need-to-Know Approach: Employees expect to immediately apply what they have learned to their specific job responsibilities. Specific job roles will be mapped to required training. The training will be presented in small, manageable components, and focus the training on clearly stated goals and objectives. Chartism subject matter experts will review the courseware and help deliver the training enabling the highest quality and buy-in Incorporation of Adult Learning Principles: Employees generally learn best from actually doing a job, next best from what they see, then from what they read and hear. These principles will be incorporated to help guide the training design and development efforts § Training Infrastructure: identifies technical requirements for training environments, training development technologies, training measurement technologies, classroom logistics, and configurations Components of a Training Strategy Training Scope § Training Standards: defines standards for training development including the outlines, courseware, assessments, exercises, quick reference guides, and data loads § Training Design: designs training program including the approach, methodology, and training materials § Training Development: develops training materials including outlines, courseware, assessments, exercises, quick reference guides § Training Effectiveness: defines the metrics and measurement of the training delivery § GIFT overview training § Role Based Training SAP transaction training, with hands-on activities for practice New Finance processes, with hands-on activities for practice New Finance policies § External communications/education focused on new GIFT processes, procedures, and tools
Change Readiness Assessment Oftentimes, an organization’s way of resisting or responding to change is not obvious. These organizational “blind spots” can introduce hidden risks and hinder the goals and objectives of a project. Why conduct a Business Readiness Assessment? § Understand how ready the organization is for change § Develop plans to address changes § A Business Readiness Assessment helps to answer the following questions: Do your people understand the importance of GIFT? Are your people committed to using the new systems and processes? Do they understand how to do their jobs using the new systems and processes? Do they have the appropriate skills? Has your organizational structure been appropriately adjusted? Do your people understand the new organization structure? § Assess Chartis’ capacity for change and to identify potential barriers that would prevent a successful implementation by surveying a sample of end users at key points in the project What is a Business Readiness Assessment? § Key dimensions measured throughout the assessment Business Case: What are the benefits in implementing GIFT? Vision: Is there a clear understanding of why GIFT is being implemented? Journey: Do employees believe that Chartis has a historical track record of success when dealing with large scale implementations? Leadership / Sponsorship: How much support exists? Organization Preparedness: Does Chartis have the required structure and resources to enable the change that GIFT will implement? Culture: How will Chartis’ culture support the GIFT program itself? How will Chartis’ culture support changes that GIFT will implement, for example future state changes in the organization structure, employee roles, and the way employees conduct business? People Enablement: Do employees feel empowered to affect changes within their scope? Communications: How effective is the messaging and who are communications most effective coming from? § Create a plan to address what is needed to overcome organizational obstacles and areas of the organization's culture that must change to meet the GIFT How will results be used? objectives Leadership is able to provide a clear path forward to achieve GIFT objectives Sponsorship – GIFT is supported by leadership to champion the vision and ensure GIFT remains an organizational priority Clearly defined governance structure to make design decisions, resolve issues and mitigate risks Targeted training based on end users’ unique needs Communications targeted to specific employee groups based on individual needs § Assist in influencing the “Go / No-Go” decision closer to implementation
Change Impact Assessment A Change Impact Assessment identifies and addresses potential impacts that will result from implementing new processes and technology. Identified change impacts are then used to develop a plan for managing the transition by mitigating risks and resistance areas. Why conduct a Change Impact Assessment? § Identify the ways in which employees’ jobs will change § Ranks these changes based upon the degree of impact § Develop plans to address changes so that employees can do their jobs § There are 4 steps included in the assessment: Initial Assessment - Identify areas of Chartis’ business that will be different due to the transition to new processes, technology, or organization, identify specific ways in which employees’ jobs will change What is a Change Impact Assessment? Validation – Validate that all change impacts are identified and correct, rank changes based on how much they will impact employees roles Report Change Impact Findings – Summarize findings from Change Impact Assessment, highlight critical impacts and potential mitigation plans Action Plan – Leverage Change Impact Report to develop and refine mitigation strategies for critical change impacts, use Action Plan as input to future Communication, Stakeholder Management, Training, Organization Assessment, and HR Preparedness plans How will results be used? § § Determine how employees’ jobs will change Determine to what degree employees’ jobs will change (High, Medium, Low) Identify training needs by employee population Target communications by employee population

The Readiness Assessment Methodology The methodology to capture stakeholder perspectives includes the below key considerations. WHO A random sample of impacted stakeholders selected from across <LINES OF BUSINESS / FUNCTONS> – the sample is carefully selected to ensure representation WHAT The questionnaire currently includes <NUMBER> items around the <NUMBER> metrics (a mix of quantitative and qualitative / open-ended questions) WHEN The survey will be administered on a quarterly basis to assess and track stakeholder understanding, commitment and adoption HOW The survey is hosted via the <SURVEY TOOL>. Selected participants received an email invitation from the central OR mailbox to complete the survey. We will periodically call upon leaders for assistance in boosting response. WHY Provide insight into stakeholder needs, uncover potential risks to successful execution, and assist in developing mitigation strategies One of the key features of the survey is the ability to provide results at granular levels (e. g. , by line of business, band level) which will assist in identifying unique risks and necessary actions

Engagement Alignment to Organizational Change Types Organizational change typically falls into one of three categories: Enhancement Simple (Developmental) Simple and Predictable Streamlining and small scale or incremental change. Does not change the core business strategy; transition risks are not significant Impacts: People, Work Processes Examples: q Redesigning a team’s work process q New release of business software q Automating a manual report Adaption Reinvention Medium (Transitional) Variable Complexity and Predictability Complex (Transformational) Complex and Unpredictable Changes to structure, capabilities and work processes. No changes to underlying business model/strategy. Impacts: People, Work Processes, Work Environment, Structure Examples: q New organizational structure q Reductions in staff q Process re-engineering Planned, holistic organizational change for the enterprise that redesigns core business model, nature of work, and/or cultural norms. Impacts: People, Work Processes, Work Environment, Structure, Rewards Examples: q Redesigning the procurement policy q Major acquisitions q Creating a Center of Excellence
Change Management Engagement Model Overview The process for engaging the Change Management Function begins with a business leader or HRBP contacting the Function lead, who will assess intake to determine which change management services are needed. Business leaders, HRBPs, and / or the Function Lead will then develop and implement the change management plan, with responsibilities varying depending on the level of services required. Identify & Contact Scope Analyze & Plan Deliver Identify need for services and contact the Change Management function Conduct change management intake and determine scope Analyze stakeholder impacts and develop change management plan Deliver change management services (implement plan) Who is contacting the Change Management function? Who is conducting the intake and determining scope? Who is developing the plan? Who is leading service delivery? § § Business Leaders HRBPs § Change Management Function Lead § Depends on level of services required
Change Management Function Scope of Services The diagram below depicts the services a Change Management Center of Excellence (Co. E) can provide. Facilitate workforce redeployment and transition in alignment with the change Identify stakeholder groups, assess their readiness for change, and determine impacts of the change on each group Change Impact Assessment Workforce Transition Design rewards, recognition, and performance goals to promote desired behaviors Rewards, Recognition, & Performance Change Management Learning & Capability Transfer Provide tools and training to support change delivery on projects and ensure to knowledge / capability transfer Leadership Alignment Ensure that stakeholders with authority, power and / or influence share a common vision and visibly support the change Communication & Engagement Develop and distribute communications and conduct activities to inform and involve leaders and employees in the change
Change Management Service Delivery Levels Services are grouped into four levels based on the change management capabilities employees must have to deliver the services and the required degree of involvement of subject matter experts (SMEs). Redesign processes, facilitate workforce redeployment and transition, and re-align the organization structure to optimize resources and employee effectiveness Process Redesign Involve leaders and employees in the change and ensure they both share a common vision Change Readiness & Impact Assessment Leadership Alignment Workforce Changes Service Delivery Levels Level 1 Level 2 Change Management Organization Design Communication & Engagement Rewards, Recognition, Learning & Development & Performance Design rewards, recognition, and performance goals to promote desired behaviors Provide tools and training to support change delivery on projects and ensure to knowledge / capability transfer § Change Readiness & Impact Assessment, Leadership Alignment, and Communications & Engagement § Basic change management capabilities required § Does not require SME involvement § All services in Level 1 plus Learning § Proficient change management capabilities required § Requires moderate involvement of Director of Learning & Leadership Development or Functional Training Organization as SME Level 3 § All services in Levels 1 and 2 plus Rewards, Recognition, & Performance § Proficient change management capabilities required § Requires heavy involvement of Performance & Competency Management Lead as SME Level 4 § All services in Levels 1, 2, and 3 plus Process Redesign, Organization Design, and Workforce Changes § Advanced change management capabilities required § May require leveraging SMEs across or outside of the company depending on project size and scope
Change Management Service Delivery Examples The table below describes examples of changes that would necessitate each of the change management service delivery levels.
