Many of today’s top organizations use technology
to develop their next generation of leaders.
However, the successful development of a career
planning tool and the follow-through to a successful
implementation are two very different things. Jim Griffin from Insala, states,
“Almost universally, organizations struggle with
what they should do, not around the features and
functionality, but more about the readiness.”
Creating the features and functionality to help
your rising stars drive their career planning and
development might seem easy compared with the
task of bringing your implemented solution to life.
A successful rollout of HR technology solutions
requires a comprehensive rollout plan, backed by
senior leaders, a branding campaign, post-launch
training and the engagement of the entire organization.
Daphne Schechter, President of Schechter
Consulting, LLC, believes a comprehensive rollout
plan that focuses on branding, consistent communication
and people is what will determine the
success of your HR solution. This paper will
review the components of a successful implementation
plan, based on Schechter’s experience using
a career planning tool in tandem with Insala’s support.
We’ll learn how to win executive and “champion”
sponsorship, develop a consistent pre-launch
communication plan and provide post-launch
support that will ensure a high rate of adoption
within the organization.
