15. What would you say… you do here?

“I conduct readiness assessments,
complete impact analyses, build
strategies, create change
management plans and support
integration into project plans.”
“I help us capture the
portion of project benefits
that depends on employee
adoption and usage.”
19. “Knowing what to do with a toon is easy.
It's getting them to do it that's hard.“
Ender to Bean in Ender’s Game, Orson Scott Card19
20. PMI Research shows the connection
• “Organisations reporting
higher-than-average
success rates for projects
also report higher-than-
average adoption of
organizational Change

24. Getting more specific on ROI
24
What’s the connection between Change Management
and project results and outcomes?
Do all projects need Change Management to succeed?
How do we quantify the Change Management
investment required in a project?
How can we target Change Management investment on a
project so it delivers the best return?
30. The Swiss Cheese Syndrome
30
“Most locations implemented, but the
team in Sydney are still in transition.”
“Key users are still struggling, they
need more support.”
“The new operating model has rolled
out but teams are still operating in
silos”.
“There is a wide variation in the
benefits being realised in different
parts of the business.”
“We need to start Phase 2 to capture
all the expected benefits.”
34. Activity: What is the “people dependence” of
your project benefits?
• Select a current or
completed change
• Estimate the % of benefits
that are dependent on
“people doing their jobs in
a new way, i.e. adoption
and usage.
• 0 – 25%
• 26 - 50%
• 51 – 75%
• 76 -100%

35. How much should you invest (budget,
people, focus) in driving
adoption and usage?

36. Back to those ROI questions
36
What’s the connection between Change Management
and project results and outcomes?
Do all projects need Change Management to succeed?
How do we quantify the Change Management
investment required in a project?
How can we target Change Management investment on a
project so it delivers the best return?
37. New directions in quantifiying the ROI of
Change Management
• Which benefits are most
significant?
• What is the dependence on
Adoption and Usage?
• Which employees are most critical
to realising these benefits?
• What is the risk assessment for
these groups?
• What level of investment in
Change Management will support
those employees in making the
transition?

38. Shifting the conversation
Why should we …
How much should we …
What value do we get when
we ….
Can’t we just send an email
and not ….
Invest in
Change
Management
38
Because a significant portion of organisational benefits and
project objectives (x%) and organisations outcomes
depends on employee adoption and usage, and change
management helps us drive adoption and usage
