Assigning Accountability.

This governance structure will align the tactical and strategic business objectives of the project.

Sample Governance Structure

Sample Governance Structure

[D]

Key Considerations

  • Manage as an ongoing program
    - Create or extend program office
    - Dedicate a small core team of experts
    - Measurement doesn't end with last "rollout"

  • Establish metrics and accountability across functional areas

  • Ensure HR involvement early in the program to help manage pace and impact of change

  • Get commitments from heads of relevant functions for process improvements and cost reductions

Project Catalyst: Why do it now?

The business is running well, but there are tactical reasons for mobilizing now.

  • Field is getting increased pressure to reach OFCF goals and is looking for better processes and tools to help

  • Momentum growing with Field and among key players at Corporate

  • The technology platform is "smoking" and will take 18-24 months to be implemented effectively (option value of a technology failure is high)

  • We are in a moment of calm (no acquisitions, business strong)

  • Ability to integrate and automate with current Sarbanes Oxley project

  • Other initiatives around standardization make the culture open to change

  • This will enable our ability to meet shareholder value targets

  • Executive communications
    -One-on-one Sponsor discussions
