CASE STUDY
Leveraging Stakeholders to Ensure Success
A 10,000-person engineering division was faced with a major transformation: phasing out redundant, competing tools and processes and replacing them with common processes and tools across the organization.
Collaborating with key engineering leaders, Global Aperture executed on an approach designed to increase stakeholder buy-in and support, remove roadblocks before the implementation began, and help ensure success. We conducted a series of interviews and strategic planning sessions, leading to an integrated set of action plans.
As a result of these efforts, the project execution accelerated, redundant tools were rapidly identified for retirement, new replacement tools were deployed, and significant cost savings were realized.
Developing only a strategic plan often isn't enough. In order to succeed, your team must be on-board, aligned around your shared vision and approach, and committed to success.
Our approach to earning and building commitment is to ensure employees are involved, communicated with, and engaged early and often as you explore new ideas and solutions. Our alignment process offers a host of services that enhance personal communication skills, strengthen lines of communication across your entire organization, and involve employees in the planning process.
