M&A SITE CLOSING & TRANSFER
Engaging impacted associates and gaining buy-in.
As the Training Czar for a massive site shutdown and transfer project, I oversaw the creation and migration of the entire training and OD program From Camarillo, CA. to the Frederick, MD Site. The project migration plan for training was based on implementing the critical skills and talent management processes along with theory-based andragogy of adult learning practices. This approach resulted in 100% on-time skill readiness for the go-live of the new site and continuous development and retention of talent required for the project.
ERP MIGRATION & CHANGE MANAGMENT
A multiple site and location rollout
A strategic business unit was migrating to SAP across 4 different locations. I was asked to help develop a change management plan that would be implemented as a part of the ERP migration project. Blending collaboration with the onsite technical consultants and defined OCM processes we could develop a change management plan to help the IT team train, migrate, and successfully complete the SAP- ERP project.
MULTIPLE, EXTENSIVE CHANGE MANAGEMENT PROJECTS
Change initiatives begin and end with the people. It is imperative that we seek to understand their perspective.
I have had the pleasure of being involved in multiple change initiatives. From whole-scale ERP changes to payroll harmonization to process change. In each case, a successful change program emerged due to the team’s willingness to listen, understand how the change impacted their associates, and drive open collaboration and compromise.
