In the business of BPM and projects we are all dealing with change. There are a lot of factors at work that affect how well we can make it occur. Some of those are personal; our management style, experience, empathy, drive and a whole lot more. However, the organizational ones are just as important. Here is my Top 10 of what affects outcomes:
- Organizational culture and willingness to change
- Management support and engagement for the project
- Realistic and achievable goals/objectives
- Outcome impact on staff and organization buy in
- Competent project team members
- Transparency before, during and after the project
- Identification of Luddites and others disbelievers of the goals
- A great project manager and a good project plan
- Effective communication through the project
- Appropriate budget for the tasks/project in hand
