Seven Key Themes From Communication Exercise 1. Use face-to-face communication, whenever possible. 2. Target communications to specific user groups. 3. Personalize emails, rather than using email list. 4. Use demos and compelling use cases to communicate the value of Workday.
Seven Key Themes From Communication Exercise 5. Conduct needs assessments for departments. 6. Communicate training and support opportunities. 7. Create a larger network of ambassadors on each campus.
Treasurers and Ambassadors - Communication Toolkit Treasurers are Change Management Champions for their campuses. Treasurers will: Receive an outline or “Toolkit” Meet with Ambassadors Develop plan for rolling out appropriate communication Identify “doers” for each activity
Change Management Priorities Six change management items identified by Core/Design Team as major shifts in processes in moving from Jenzabar and Datatel to Workday These affect Colleges and individuals differently Our goals are to familiarize Ambassadors with these items and to develop strategies to facilitate successful transitions regarding these changes at each campus
Change Management Priorities - # 1 Affects all Colleges: Transition from account numbers (15 digits for Pomona, 14 digits for all other Colleges) to strings of worktags of varying lengths
Change Management Priorities - # 2 Affects all Colleges: Transition from preparing and reviewing request-for-check (RFC) forms to creating and approving supplier (vendor) invoices in Workday
Change Management Priorities - # 3 Affects all Colleges: Transition from paying students and employees on RFCs to paying students and employees through ad hoc feature in Workday
Change Management Priorities - # 4 Affects all Colleges: Transition from self-balancing gift and grant account numbers (projects at Pomona, units at all other Colleges) to new gift, grant, program and project worktags in Workday
Change Management Priorities - # 5 Affects Pomona only: Temporary return to paper process for purchase orders until Workday Procurement module is implemented in Phase II
Change Management Priorities - # 6 Affects HMC and CUC only: Temporary return to paper process for employee expense reimbursements until Workday Expenses module is implemented in Phase II
The Claremont Colleges Change Objectives Increase knowledge and confidence for the use of Workday Preempt resistance to change by reducing uncertainty and containing anxiety Confirm communication needs are systematically addressed Manage expectations Strive for smooth transition and effective implementation Build and encourage continued use of the Workday Community Elicit constructive suggestions and stakeholder involvement Celebrate success and learn from mistakes
