How to Prepare for the Transition

Abstract: Abstract Once the strategic design has been completed, it should be submitted to an impact assessment. The outputs of the impact assessment will be points of refinement for the strategic design and the issues to be addressed in the detailed operational design and transition plan. The impact assessment consists of a theoretical test and a practical test of the organization design. The latter takes the form of a ‘stress test’ in which business scenarios are used to explore the consequences and potential shortcomings of the design. If, based on the results of the impact assessment, the steering committee decides to take the strategic design forward, a detailed operational design needs to be produced. Two important elements of the operational design are the size and composition of the teams that will populate the structure and the governance model; the latter pertains to leadership roles and management processes. In addition to the operational design, the second deliverable of the ‘prepare transition’ stage is the transition plan. In it, the transition strategy needs to be described in terms of the choices for staging, pacing, sequencing, and governing the transition. In addition, the people processes that are associated with the transition need to be laid out.
