Build Your Change Management Approach
16
Secure executive support
First, you’ll present to your project team for their input and feedback.
Next, prepare your change management proposal to present to an
executive sponsor or leadership group.
In most organizations, your executive sponsor is usual
ly the IT Director,
CIO, or CTO—someone with authority to promote change management.
The team will have a respected, authoritative name to back up the
mission, and will speak to it as part of the company’s strategy.
In your presentation and discussions with
your executive sponsor, you’ll
focus on securing:
• Support for your change management appr
oach—does this fit
with your company culture and organization?
• Commitment to internal and external resources/funding.
• Agreement on the executive sponsor to be a visible leader of change.
The executive sponsor will be the one communicating the move to
Google
Apps to all of your users by signing his or her name on the
company announcement or even recording a video message to all
employees.
The result: Executive buy-in and commitment for resources to support
your change management str
ategy.

“We ask the people with power in the
organization to step up. We ask CEOs to
communicate why they think Google
Apps is right for their company.”
