Technology Enablement
New roles need new access. This tool makes sure the systems are ready before Day 1, not after it.
Aim
Technology Enablement focuses on ensuring employees have the right systems access, workflows and reporting tools aligned to their new roles — enabling them to work effectively from Day 1 in the future-state organization.
Results
- Proper systems access and permissions that align with new responsibilities.
- Updated workflows, templates and dashboards that match the new structure.
- Reduced friction during transition by ensuring tools reflect new ways of working.
- Fewer delays caused by outdated system settings or access gaps.
Pro Tips
-
Partner early with IT and security teams. Avoid bottlenecks by involving the right tech owners early in the planning process.
-
Use role-based thinking. Don't just focus on individual names — define what each new role needs to do and access.
-
Inventory impacted tools. Identify which systems, workflows and reports need to change to support new ways of working.
-
Map dependencies. Technology touches multiple workstreams, so coordinate changes to avoid mismatches across teams.
-
Include user testing where feasible. If time allows, validate access and workflow functionality before go-live to surface issues proactively.
Technology Integration
Technology is an enabler of work, a way to manage metrics and a means for linkages within an organization. Many transformation initiatives include technology components which must be managed for successful implementation of the changes.
The Technology Integration Tool prompts you to consider the technology requirements for the new organization. Use it in nine steps by writing down: the required technology; the owner; the dependency; the priority; the complexity; the impact on users; the status of the Work Scope & Plan; the interdependencies; and any workarounds required in case deployment dates don't align with go-live dates.
