Risks & Mitigations RISK Agency Readiness RISK Product RISK Systems Integration RISK Data Conversion RISK Budget RISK Vendor Mgmt. RISK Governance RISK Customer Readiness Agency may not be prepared to take on a project of this size. Product chosen does not meet L&I’s current needs, or not flexible for future needs. Systems integration between COTS product(s) and legacy technology proves to be more difficult than anticipated. Data issues not addressed early is causing delays. Future funding is either not provided or insufficient to implement as planned. Need for multiple vendors causes overlap and/or lack of clarity on accountabilities or deliverables. The project governance and/or structure is not effective at timely and effective decision making. Customers are not engaged or informed; therefore, not equipped for new processes and tools. Mitigation • Leadership plan developed and being implemented to maximize agency capability. • Resource planning completed; backfill & timing for resources required for WCSM. Mitigation • Build in safeguards in procurement process to ensure maximum fit, scalability & flexibility. • Conduct thorough proofs of concept. • Learn where agency uniqueness may require customizations Mitigation • Developed an integration and data strategy in advance (completed) • Thoroughly map all systems and interfaces in advance (underway) Mitigation • Ensure sufficient detail through the next biennium, at minimum, to track progress. • Develop shortterm and longterm plans, as well alternatives and benefits. Mitigation • Develop and maintain a disciplined vendor management strategy that defines clear roles and accountabilities. • Ensure expectations are clearly stated and measure performance regularly. Mitigation • Develop a strategy that empowers decision-making at the lowest possible level with line of sight and transparency at all levels. • Ensure roles in the decision making process are clearly understood. Mitigation • Develop a proactive outreach and communication strategy for (customer) stakeholders to ensure the appropriate involvement and awareness. Mitigation • Establish and maintain a data strategy and governance. • Start conversion efforts ahead of implementation.
