Change Management and cultural acceptance are the keys to success in a process- or system-change environment. When rolling out new business applications, companies often focus too much on the technology and fail to successfully implement the accompanying process changes.
Haverstick’s Launch Management Methodology (LMM) combines changes, management, and learning competencies to align strategy, people, process, and technology to improve IT project performance. Our LMM consists of the following components:
| Component |

Continuation—Covers the items needed to successfully manage the implementation past its launch phase |
Launch Management Methodology applies processes, tools, and techniques to manage the people side of business change to achieve the required business outcome, and to realize the business change effectively within the social infrastructure of the workplace. Deciding to manage change by applying an organized, structured methodology is the clear choice of successful companies.
When they do this, changes are implemented faster, cheaper, and with a minimum of pain and disruption to people. Since every company is struggling to make changes, those that can do it successfully have a strong edge over their competition. |
