In your Change Management Project Plan please include planning for the timing of approvals and indicate which positions in the organization will approve each activity.

The project plan has been attached below.

Change management requirement is majorly collaboration as there is strong resistance to change and thus we propose following: As new manager one must implement Tuckman Model in leading teams using following ways: Forming where groups are formed and aggregated based on experience and expertise Storming where resistance to change and conflicts are minimized and teams are normalized and aligned to goals Norming where individuals and groups efforts are recognized and awarded commensurately Performing where groups decisions making is encouraged with minimal intervention Adjourning is dissemination where evaluation and feedback and acknowledgment is given and teams are disintegrated after tasks get accomplished. Risk management strategy must use strong corporate governance mechanisms like ethical audit, Sarbanes Oxley Act, Foreign Corrupt Practice Act and whistleblower policy to ensure higher risk mitigation. Resources and timings for each task can be made flexible by following processes: Staffing global organization requires methods like Social Media Hiring, Referral Hiring, and Third-Party Consulting based Hiring which gives quality candidates. Social media hiring is best for cultural fitments however can be skeptical which is a disadvantage as it does not give a holistic view. Referral hiring is another effective way because of trust and Recommendations shown. However, it can be disadvantageous if references are unchecked and unverified. Consulting based hiring gives top-level candidates based on requirements and expectations. However, disadvantages being the cost of hiring is very high. Organizations must check for quality and skills as well as qualifications like global experience, overall countries traveled, cross border cross-domain management skills, Leadership skills, International relations management, Team building. Preadapting onboarding opportunity is very critical for global success and hence candidates must be given training in global countries and should be given sufficient time to adapt to its culture and way of doing business and then should be expatriated. Here entire family expenses are taken care of and sufficient financial and administrative support is offered for ease of the transition to a new nation. Ongoing training will incorporate learning through peers, transition counseling through past expatriates, reverse mentoring and case studies and collaborative approach like on job training with senior leaders. Here expatriates are offered regular support to understand the working culture, management style and organizational structure and systems. Repatriation policies like attractive remuneration and total rewards package, career development plan for the next 5 years, family health and insurance, children schooling and education support, long term stock options and bonuses, flatter hierarchy.
