NEW QUESTION 34
ZYX has started the SIAM transition project The project team has recognized that a major factor to success will be managing people through the transition from the current operational model to the future SIAM model.
It has been decided to create a dedicated consultation group to formulate the best approach to supporting the staff Who should best be included in the consultation group?

People with HR expertise, and representatives from across ZYX and the providers with the skills and ability to ‘sell the ideas’ The group needs to represent multiple functions, and could be supplemented with specialist expertise from external contractors.

Senior representatives from the management boards of all ZYX organizations and their current service providers should form the consultation group This would ensure fair representation for all parties. They would cascade information to the affected staff.

There is not enough capability to form the group from the existing resources An external organization should be engaged to provide specialists in organizational change management. They would undertake all of the necessary activities throughout the transition.

ZYXS should be used to form the group as they have well documented processes, job descriptions and skills profiles. Using their expertise to define the future requirements for the SIAM model will enable all staff to understand what will be expected from them

NEW QUESTION 35
ZYX has now appointed SIAMRUS as the service integrator and has started to plan and build the new SIAM ecosystem Initially the new SIAM model will be supported by the existing service providers.
In a recent program progress meeting, it was highlighted that the planned Organizational Change Management (OCM) initiative has a high cost What approach should be taken to ensure that the OCM initiative for the service providers will cost effectively support the transition to SIAM?

A major predicted cost relates to BANKSCO. Since the introduction of NEWBNK is imminent, the scope of OCM should be reduced by leaving out BANKSCO. This would enable additional funds to be available for the adoption of the ADKAR change model Using this disciplined approach for the transition of all the remaining service providers would ensure a successful and cost-effective transition to the new SIAM model

Exclude OUTSCO as they already have an established approach to service provision and have communication links in place with the other service providers This significantly reduces the scale of the OCM initiative, and therefore helps to control costs Concentrate on ensuring that the other service providers are aware of the changes, and assess their desire for success using liaison with their appointed OCM representatives.

Reduce the scope of the OCM initiative so that the commodity service providers are only made aware of the changes and how they will be affected by them Arrange for all the other service providers to nominate a dedicated OCM representative to ensure effective communication with all the remaining parties involved Undertake specific training in the cross-provider ways of working using Computer Based Training.

The scope of OCM should include all service providers and be based on a recognized change model such as ADKAR The intentions of large established providers including OUTSCO and NETSCO should be fully understood, as there might be potential conflicts of interest which need to be addressed. The OCM activities should be tailored to the characteristics of the service providers.This will assist in controlling costs
