Leveraging Stakeholders to Ensure SuccessA 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. |
