Establish a change narrative and a supply chain change management plan
Articulate a clear end state and build an initiative outline for supply chain change management. This includes: defining change vision; appointing a change leader; communicating the change to key stakeholders; and outlining the events, timelines, resources, risks, and metrics for assessing change progress.
Develop and enable supply chain change communications
Support the development of a comprehensive change communications plan. Provide supply chain managers the necessary tools, guidelines and practices to follow the plan and effectively convey the change to employees.
Guide supply chain change management activities during implementation
Oversee the execution of supply chain change management activities – such as capacity building, training and upskilling, communication, and feedback collection – to ensure accountability and a smooth transition experience for all stakeholder groups.
Sustain the supply chain change post-implementation
Continue to manage the supply chain change even after its implementation by continuously committing to it. Provide necessary support to supply chain staff, track and communicate change progress, and course correct when needed to deliver near-term and long-term value to the business.
