Purpose
The purpose of this deliverable is to determine if risks identified in earlier phases have been properly mitigated by the implemented Organizational Alignment Action Plan and if new project and/ or organizational risks exist. If the original risks identified were not properly mitigated and/ or new risks have been identified it is imperative that the Organizational Alignment Action Plan is updated with new activities to moderate any remaining project and organizational risks.
How should it be produced
A new organizational risk assessment survey should be developed to specifically address the previous risks identified and sent out to the project team, end user and executive communities. The results should be analyzed, creating a risk profile report, to verify and gauge the success of the risk mitigation activities and determine if alternative or additional strategies need to be implemented. Any new actions should be developed and documented by the OCM team and presented to the Project Management Office for approval and implementation.
What if it is not done
Unidentified and incorrectly assessed risks associated with organizational change can severely impact an organization during and after a project’s implementation, thus impacting the success of the project. For example, the SAP system can be configured to match the company’s goals and business operations perfectly, but if end users have a perception that the new SAP system will cause job loss and re-organization then there will be a resistance to change and the project will be a failure. Addressing project risks early and often will help the project to run smoothly and be successful.
