Establishing
Did anyone warn you it would be so bumpy? By this stage, most of the ground work has been done. Now it’s time for implementation. Like any project, if the evaluation and design phases have been well managed, there should be few surprises in the ‘build’ phase.
Your location has been selected, communications have begun, staff have been notified, and change is being managed. But how are you handling the resistance? How does it feel with the spot light on you? Did you foresee that local Finance Directors would be watching your every move, looking for a mistake? Did you have a sense that your popularity would plummet and that this project had now become a mission?
This stage is perhaps the hardest. It’s often that, during this stage, Shared Services Directors and Teams hide, implementing their plan and getting on with meeting their targets. But what’s needed is perspective, to step away from the project and seek some objectivity. sharedserviceslink.com offers excellent information for professionals in the Establishing stage. Our events mean that you will meet peers experiencing similar moments, challenges, obstacles, and objections as you. And meeting them at an event crafted to help you reach a stable, efficient, respected environment can almost be seen as an epiphany.
