2. Objectives of the Session
o Where are you now in terms of ITSM processes and automation?
o Are you just at the typical implementation that only focuses on
Incident/Problem and Change?
o Or are you already carrying out other ITSM processes (including
Service Strategy processes)?
o This talk will use one of the leading ITSM tools as a benchmark of
the wide range of processes and automation possible to compare
against what your organisation is currently doing.

o In order to remain successful,
businesses must be able to
manage substantial change
o Implementing substantial
change is typically delivered
through Projects
o Therefore, in order to
successfully implement
substantial change, businesses
must be great at Project
Management and Change
Management.
8. The Business Imperative
A global McKinsey study which
examined many project variables
and in particular effect of an OCM
program on a project’s ROI
6x more likely to
reach project
objectives
1.6x more likely
to meet budget
4x more likely
to meet
deadlines
From a people perspective, similar research from the 2011 Corporate
Leadership Council showed:
o Almost 2/3 all employees are only 33% as productive as they could be
because they don't understand what they are being asked to do
o Businesses with more engaged employees have 51% higher productivity

11. Benchmark Studies
Prosci’s benchmarking study highlighted active and visible sponsorship
as the #1 contributor to project success. The study reports were
published in the following years:
1998, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013
They have just released requests to the business market to participate
in the 2014 study.
Given the trends over the last 15 years, what would you assume the #1
contributor to success is ?

12. What are the keys roles of Sponsors?
o Active support for the project – being visible.
o Engaging with peers – building support for the project.
o Managing resistance – at peer and employee level.
o Communicating directly with employees – the employees listen
more to an executive sponsor or their own manager than they will to
a project or Organisational Change Manager.

14. What is it Worth to do it Well?
Organisational change management can pay for itself many times over in actual benefits achieved.
Assume a 12 month project has $4 million per annum in projected benefits. The impact of poor change
management could result in delayed, and permanently reduced, take up of capability:

17. Integrating Change Management (1/2)
Organisations must undergo continual change to compete: some strategic and
others more operational in nature. These programs can generally be
categorised:
o Structural change-seek to achieve greater overall performance by reconfiguring the
organisation e.g. acquisitions, mergers, new executive management
o Process change –focus on altering ‘how things get done’ e.g. reengineering
process(es) or introducing new technology
o Cultural change-concentrate on a company’s operating values, norms of behaviour
and the relationship between its management and employees; e.g. Moving to a
culture of continual improvement, from a customer focus to a commercial focus
o Revenue uplift change-aim is to increase revenues e.g. charging for services to inline
with their costs instead of making a loss
o Cost-cutting change – focus on elimination of nonessential activities or on other
methods for squeezing costs out of operations e.g. headcount, expense, partnering
o Strategic purpose change-objective is to reinvent an organisation by changing its
strategic intent, core purpose, or mission; e.g. shift from selling individual products to
selling complete solutions that add value for the customer

18. Integrating Change Management (2/2)
o Change Management, whichever approach you take, is a
progressive set of steps to be taken to help take your employees
through the phases of being aware of the change, of wanting to
know more, understanding how the Change impacts them, training
on how to make the best of the new technology/process, and
management and subject matter experts to help guide them
through the Change.
o If you already have a methodology or approach to Project
Management, I.e. PRINCE2 or Agile, then blend the Organisational
Change Management tools into these approaches. It minimises
change impacts to your project and delivery teams and ensures that
they have the tools that they require to manage the people side of
their project.
