AUDITS
Most Projects are Set-up to Fail
Unfortunately most change management efforts are designed to fail; they tend to be setup and managed like technical projects and underestimate the importance of the human side of change. This results in a catastrophic success rate for change efforts; it is commonly said that only 15% of change projects succeed. These failures not only generate a significant waste in resources, but also negatively impact the culture of the organization and people’s belief in management. Audits can help identify the weaknesses in a project and help remove them before they become a serious issue.
AUDIT– RISK ASSESSMENT
Audit the strategy, structure, and systems of a change effort to;
1) identify strengths and weaknesses,
2) determine the risk for implementation, and
3) propose corrective measures.
AUDIT– IMPLEMENTATION READINESS OR EFFECTIVENESS
-
Analyze the organization's effectiveness in leading the change effort and propose adaptations to the project structure and support systems that will increase the implementation effectiveness.
-
Analyze the sequence and timing of past and future actions to propose needed adaptations to the roadmap.
