Objectives and project background
As part of a major programme of change our client, a London Borough, was to implement e-procurement throughout the organisation.
The programme management team was concerned about the risks posed by the restructuring of the Council and the cultural change required.
Parkwell was engaged to form close links between programme teams, to develop and run a comprehensive change strategy and plan.

- Ensure communications and processes develop appropriately as the programme progressed.
- Acceptance of the new processes and system.
Deliverables
- A detailed change management strategy and plan.
- Establishment of intra-programme working parties.
- Daily bulletins.

Project conclusion
The risks which had been identified were not only mitigated, but the development of an effective working relationship between the projects proved to be of significant value to the programme.
