Part C
Your Change Management Project Plan has been approved by the CEO and Board of directors (Part B). You have also facilitated a meeting with a small group of Bayside Call Centre staff members to discuss the upcoming organizational changes (Task 3).

- Project timeline and timetable
- Roles & Responsibilities
- Performance indicators

- Evaluation measures
- Review and opportunities for improvement
You can use the Implementation Plan template provided below to document your answer.
Part D
You are now to assume the changes have been implemented and the call Centre has introduced the outbound calls service. Implementations of the business changes have been underway, and the Change Management Project is now ¾ completed.
You have undertaken consultation with all staff and managers to review the commitment and progress to the Change Management Project Plan. It has been identified:
- 7 Call Centre Representatives have resigned due to not wanting to conduct outbound calls. This will mean that the Call Centre will be understaffed once the new client project commences in one week
- Many Call Centre Representatives feel ill- prepared and not adequately trained to conduct outbound calls. They have not participated in any training regarding the features and benefits of the new client’s products
- The IT Manager has realised that the computer and telephone system requires an upgrade to increase the number of outbound calls that are conducted concurrently by different Call Centre Representatives. The upgrade will cost $5000.
- The new client has indicated their satisfaction with the service and the increase in the cold call sales. This identifies the service is working.
The Board of Directors would like to know if the expected outcomes are on the way to being achieved. Write a Report and describe the issues, you will raise in your communications with the Board of Directors. You might include:
- Critical evaluation of how the change process is being managed
- Feedback from evaluation and review
- Unexpected outcomes
- Any project modifications
- The progress of strategies to implement the change
