Assessment & Planning
The Touch Points team believes that there’s no such thing as too much planning. Key steps to this phase would include interviews with company executives, management leaders and other influencers, in addition to employees in various job capacities to determine their concerns and expectations regarding an impending change. The interview results will be documented and ultimately compiled into a PowerPoint summary document. This summary will review key drivers and common themes expressed during the interviews, and a comprehensive action plan will be created based on the assessment surveys. Key deliverables include:

    • Data benchmarking
    • Change assessment
    • Measurement toolkit development
    • Sponsorship influencing and governance models
    • Project requirements defined and agreed upon
    • Implementation team defined
    • Change, communication, education and training plans developed,
        toolkits created and incorporated into project plan

Informing & Influencing
Three of the secrets to a successful change management program are communication, communication and communication. Touch Points will coordinate a regular schedule of emails, surveys and events that are designed to keep employees informed along each major step of the change plan, and also to gather their feedback at designated milestones.
